wetin the other two policemen dey do?

EgunMogaji:


You are right and it mimics what I had said earlier.

The LEO's woke up disadvantaged.

One or two of them should always be outside their post to observe and be aware.

I knew the black car was up to no good from the get-go and they should have focused on it. The first bad guy that came out with an AK should have been shot dead and then the driver nailed through the windscreen.

JDelight:
As an experience police officer u don stay inside the banking premises or in the security post instead u hang around with ur gun hiding beside u especially if there is a restaurant or bar around d bank and observe everything going on from your angle there.
You no y? Bcus it will enable u be the first to attack your enemies wen ever they come around.
It will also allowed u to call for help with immediate alacrity, also u are in a safer position which will enable u to escape n save ur life.
All the same R.I.P the dead

naturalwaves:

Exactly! The first set of shots to be fired by the police officers even missed target. They only got the black glass. If they had good position awareness and were battle ready, they would have riddled that car with bullets .

mekaboy:


They would have killed him there. AK 47 would normally have about 30 rounds. He would have run out of bullets.

He probably had no backup, he took the best decision to him at that point. If not for the guy in the back, he would have escaped?

nkemdi89:
The man died that same day at FMC and not two months later, and he has since being buried. He has a wife and family too.

PokeTotoBoy:
Even if he is alive, the police will say he is dead. It is a term in law called witness protection. The police sergeant is very much alive.

I can tell u from experience its very difficult to shoot a person lying spread out on the floor from a distance using an ak47. The recoil will always shift yuh aim.

Believe this at yuh own gullibility level. But the police will never tell u he is alive. And how can a police officer not hv his info in the police database. This is just an attempt to protect his identity

bong4:
You mean there were two other police men inside the security post? OP fear God naaa. Were they sleeping while all these were happening? Even when the guys drove off, nothing came out of that post.

EgunMogaji:


Speaking of targets, do they even do mandatory training in NPF?

Most of the rifles I see looks like they haven't been fired or cleaned in ages.

I know that there's mandatory shooting range certification here routinely. Fail and you'll be assigned a desk job until you pass.

persius555:
A Nigerian Police Force personnel of eastern extract was killed in active service in owerri, without a traceable address (and most likely without a family member)?

We know more about the bank robbers but know absolutely nothing about a heroic police officer.

Something is fishy here.

*This is not a celebrity gist or gossip* Dear Lalasticla, Dearest Mynd44, if this post is fake, block me from assessing the create option for 1 year.

Very soon, other media would verify and publish my findings and you guys will laud them.

Good morning pipu.

As a trained marksman sergeant iboko made few mistakes.
1, he did not access the situation properly. There were two other officers with him, so no point panicking. You access and then engage. The two armed robbers that alighted from the vehicle shot sporadically, and advanced towards the target. (Money)The gun shot that reeled out from post, alerted the robbers attention.

The first target was to take out the driver...

2, he could have remained in his post, all advantage tilted towards his direction.

The robber behind, his role was to engage people from the outside, if he remained pinned down, at least his life would have been saved.
Rip seargeant, a brave man.

If you watch the video very well you'll notice the driver was properly fortified, didn't fire a shot and walked calmly in the middle of gunfire.

OK so many people replied me and I will not spam the thread replying everyone but hopefully everyone who replied me can read this. I say this not out of arrogance but out of FACTS. there is something about living abroad for a while that opens up all your faculties of reasoning. You think better than someone who has never left africa. now if i have never left africa, my sense of reasoning will probably be like that of the police officer and most of the people replying me. things we africans do are usually exagerrated and irrational. our actions and thoughts are irrational BUT we think it is normal because we dont know any other way. I would have done the same thing the officer did if I have never stepped out of nigeria because the thinking capacity is limited. having lived abroad and having a more expanded thinking facility, i see a car pull up, i am behind a cover of cement walls and the assailants have no cover at all. I am at an advantage ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I CANT LOSE with this level of advantage I have. all I have to do is preserve my life by making sure no one comes through that door and keep my gun aimed and ready to fire if anyone comes through. all the while i am calling for backup. IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO TRY AND ENGAGE 4 ARMED ROBBERS AT COMBAT. THE BANK DOES NOT PAY YOU ENOUGH TO DO THAT. WHAT THEY PAY YOU FOR IS TO BE A DETERRENT AND IF IN ANY CASE YOU ARE AT AN ADVANTAGE THEN YOU CAN ENGAGE THE THIEVES IF IT IS ONLY ONE WHO IS UNARMED. SO BY DOING WHAT HE DID HE ENDANGERED THE LIFE OF EVERYBODY AROUND HIM BY TAKING ON 4 ARMED MEN AND GETTING THEM EVEN MORE AGITATED. point being ? they dont pay you enough to risk ya life for 50,000 naira a year.

That room has no other exit, all hell would have been let loose on that room. The robbers would have finished every living and non living thing in there, because he had killed one of their own.

naturalwaves:

The hideout is not secure because it can be riddled with bullets. So, he felt he needed a better hideout away from the known one hence the reason for scampering for safety first.

charles009:


My brother forget fortification, no be for AK47.

Exactly! I dont understand these people on nairaland saying he was stupid to have left the room. I guess they have watched too many american movies. The robber already killed two police men inside the same room as his heavy fire was penetrating the walls.

You can't be serving and protecting by cowering inside a block guard house and calling for help.

those bullets cant pass through cement , and like i said, it is his limited thinking capacity that made him think he had to run into the face of bullets to run out of safety. thats an oxymoron. let me run into bullets to run out of safety lol . does that make sense to you ?
