I'm not sure of what section to post this thread. This was my experience today in Kubwa, a satellite town in Abuja. Around 6pm, I left my house to see a friend in Kubwa. While I was on a motorbike to my friend's house, a car stopped abruptly at the middle of a major road, almost causing the bike I rode on to crash into the car from behind but for the swift manoeuvring by the bike man. I was disappointed when I realized that the driver of that vehicle only made that dangerous halt because he wanted to drop someone quickly without parking properly. The bike man quickly moved the bike close to the driver's window and we both tried to caution the driver against repeating such a dangerous act. Rather than apologize and move on, the driver began to rain insults on us by calling us all sorts of unprintable names. Out of anger, I replied him by calling him a wicked man & a lunatic not sane enough to handle the steering of a vehicle. Within a twinkling of an eye, the man alighted from his car (a car with a private company logo crested on it) and pointed an English pistol at me, threatening severally to shoot at me if I dare repeat a word. I was torn between confronting him and watch him carry out his threat or quietly walking away. Infact, I was dumbfounded and felt trampled upon. I thought of copying down his car plate number and filing a complain at the nearest police station but I was too perplexed to do so. After intervention by several people who witnessed the whole event, the man finally went back into his vehicle and zoomed off. He was neither on any military or paramilitary uniform nor had any embel or sign to show he was a security personnel. I really couldn't describe how I felt; but it was indeed a fusion of anger, humiliation, disappointment and fear. Yes, FEAR! I have hitherto heard of cases whereby innocent people get killed by gunshots after a slight argument. In case of a future occurence, how best can one deal with a situation like this? 1 Like |

Must be a police or military man 'cos a DSS agent can never draw his pistol so easily even when angered. Thank your stars bro, those 1diots are trigger-insensitive.  1 Like |

This is why you need to carry a legal firearm or even illegal one, even ordinary dagger.  No time and no joy to be threatened by one iidiot just because he has a military background with a gun - We both are dying at that spot. Next time walk away but make sure you trace him and take your pound of flesh - I can feel your humiliation but again you have a chance to bite back now unless you've got a poor memory ,because you'll always come across him in that neighborhood. 3 Likes 1 Share |

IdiAmin1: Bro, this country is a classic example of an animal farm. If that young man didn't show any restrain and used his head he would have winded up dead and labelled a carjacker at the same time. But if I was in his shoes,I will react the same way - But I will make him pay,don't ask me how. There are people you don't fucck with and go scot free. 1 Like |

Truckpusher:Seriously, I was helpless and couldn't think straight. Maybe it's because this is my first time of experiencing something like this. I wasn't myself all through yester evening. I felt so humiliated and cheated that if I had a gun, metaphysical powers or a powerful influence, that man wouldn't see the next day.  I think I just realized why people become hardened or mean or desire power and influence at all cost. |

naijainstinct:You're right. My cousin had a fight at a filling station with some cultist that wanted to extort money from him and he was beaten up badly and luckily for him there was these JTF guys around and every one of then was arrested including himself .Me and some friends that were around my house went together in their make-shift base to demand for his release to enable us give the young man some medical treatment and before you could say 'Jack Robbinson' these army boys started acting up and and ask us to sit down on the floor which we obeyed and they separated us and started questioning us which we answered. After questioning us and going through our phones ,they asked us to park our cars and power bikes inside their compound and we obeyed ,then came the drama ;They started questioning us allover again and after I've introduced myself they ask me to go but I calmly explained to the commander that I was the one that brought my friends here and can't leave without them and the man flared up, accusing me that I'm the ring leader and ask us sit on the floor again and spread our legs while asking the other 'yes sir' soldier to shoot our legs. We refused to spread our legs and instead stood up and was ready for them and our number was quite intimidating - They sent us to a dungeon ,took our phones and before we knew what was happening they brought in one other guy and he started these amazing stories about how petitions are already coming in saying that we are Militants ,cultist and robbers . To cut a long story short ,we had to use a phone concealed by one of us to call someone in Abuja before those iidiots released us and started making friends and apologizing but I was furious and there was nothing I didn't think of carrying out immediately we left, but sometimes you just have to let slide before somebody will get hurt. I later found out that they actually delayed us to enable them evacuate my cousin and the other boys that were involved in the fight to a safer place and they needed to delay us because they were afraid that with those power bikes and our numbers we will be able to chase them down and confront them - And I respected them too for making such an intelligent decision even though they went too far. Sometimes our military men behave like cows - I got my first beating from a police man when I was twelve because of catapult which my intent was not to shoot at him but he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. The man use police belt finish my bombom no be small. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Truckpusher: Bros, you're really a funny man. I've laughed so much that I even forgot I was angry over this issue. I have handed over the man to 'God's court'. If he continues in that manner, he will meet his waterloo soon. But is it considered an offence by law to point a gun indiscriminately at someone even as a security personnel? Can such an offender be reported and charged to court for this offence? The manner in which that man left with confidence yester evening, he was convinced and definitely satisfied that I was intimidated and if he has the chance, he will do the same to other people because he felt no remorse. |

A lot of insane people roaming on the street. Op, you did the best tin. Come to tink of it, there is no amount of humilation that will be bigger than your life. Just let it go, to avoid “story that touches the hrt“. Probably that guy must be high on sometin, so let him go on his own and use the pistol to take his own life. 1 Like |
