It was an accident... Don't blame the police, if they had found bombs in his boot we would have applauded them...

An American police would stop a black american citizen, shoot him,then place a gun beside him saying it was in self defence.


The Nigerian police is ur friend, no matter what you think, without them our society would be a worse place to live in....you will never know till they save ur asss.

Am sure you didn't read the whole piece before commenting

Look at some quote from the whole story

Our correspondent gathered that the policemen, reportedly attached to the Rapid Response Squad, Ikeja, had allegedly refused to allow Dimoji to park properly by the roadside, insisting that he came down to open his booth for the search.

He said, “When Dimoji got to the checkpoint, the policemen asked him to park and open his booth, but they did not allow him to park properly. He told them to allow him to park when one of them brought out a gun and threatened to shoot if Dimoji disobeyed.

The policemen did not allow him to park properly.... If he has done that, this accident and incident would have being avoided

What pains me most is that they'll want to die the case since the culprits are their colleagues.


You get the feeling man..... They always cover for themselves in such evil deeds
That's why the repercussions in real life comes quickly on them, check most of them....... They aren't well to do


Its the law of karma taking place

Are you mentally challenged or did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? Stop and search is illegal in some parts of the country! Furthermore if you are going to do a stop and search then do it properly, allow the vehicle to pull over in a safe location and then conduct your search. In regards to your analogy using American cops, that's just plain dumb. Do you even know what racism means?

If the police ask you to jump in front of a moving train will you? No.

If he had insisted on parking properly they would have let him.

Ur life is ur responsibility...it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, u just have to stay alive...we can blame the police for all we like. Yet, Those policemen may just get away with this but the man is dead.

Your life your responsibility in the face of gun.... And if he disobey them and shoot..... They will say accidental discharge or says he is a thief trying to escape being arrested......

If they allow him to park properly will their name change from police to ashawo and why threatening an innocent person with gun ? BTW why did they run when the accident happen ? Too many questions with only one answer, those policemen are law breakers. I have this feeling you are a policeman but I know you will not make this comment if your relation is the victim

Did you even read the article at all? He was threatened with a gun, most people when facing a gun become very weak and will obey any command given to them. It is the job of the police to know better, if the police had adequate training this might have been prevented. Shame on you, blaming a civilian for the irresponsible actions of our law enforcement!

I witnessed a scene close to this - perhaps not fatal - on PortHarcourt/Ikot Abasi expressway a few month ago.
I was driving foremost in the line-up as we went along the highway. Suddenly some policemen emerged from the roadside and flagged us down. I hardly barely applied my brake when I looked at my rear view mirror and saw the cars behind me bumping into each other at very high speed. I could even see some bonnets flying into the sky. Yours truly quickly rammed on my accelerator and sped off while still viewing what was happening behind me on the mirror. What was worse! the cursed men in black scrambled into their pick-up van and shamefully took off.

I really had my God to thank that day.

Bro first of all I am not blaming the man for his own death, I am only saying this for those of us still alive...we must learn.

Staying alive is the number rule in life...if u die ur dead it doesn't matter whose right or wrong.

The police didn't stop him from watching out for oncoming vehicles...afterall the police men were able to escape. You can't just lose ur life and say " na police cause am" it doesn't work that way...you protect what u've got.

I prefer the nigerian police...atleast sometimes with just N20 I can pass.

Can you listen to yourself?
What sort of police wouldn't allow someone to park safely?
Is it normal to you to be searched in the middle of the road?
And you're saying N20.
Do you want to get shot? Try give any policeman N20 and see what happens to you.

I agree and at the same time slightly disagree, we can't get the full picture of what happened unless we were there. He might have not had enough time to escape, he might still be at a state of shock but no matter what the police should know better. It's a huge shame that we live in such a crazy country!

This is just one side of the story, you would have been involved in the accident,if not why would you stop late at night by an accident scene? So I guess they were investigating.

Would you continue driving if you saw sparks flying about on the road ahead of you and someone was being dragged on a bike ? One side of the story indeed

When you are faced with a loaded gun and a trigger happy policeman...... I know you won't say that




That's why all this road safety and VIOs normally allow you to park properly before they ask whatever you want

Jesus, I always pass that route and I always see them there. I'm always angry at the way they stop cars and especially big cars. I never knew they'll eventually let someone's life waste there.

We don't have police we have Legal Armed robbers who catch other armed robbers.

They only know how to search people carrying laptop.
