Disarming the SARS team by shooting to wound would only lead to blood bath, because the one wounded would definitely return fire and in the process civilian lives.

For me, The IG Monitory team where in the wrong...the information that was sent to them was a compromised info.... going by the story, they were told armed robbers were carrying out an operation...only to get there and met fellow colleagues doing their job...this was not soldiers on police case situation but police to police, so asking their colleagues who were doing their legitimate duties was way out of line.

A simple call to the commissioner of police of the state or who ever was in charge of the IG monitoring team at the state level ..would have resolved this amicably.

The IG monitory team should be held for murder!

The IG monitoring team might have been very suspicious of the Sars men as they refused to hand over their weapons first. In the past Robbers have dressed in police and military uniforms to rob innocent people
In the US, the FBI's authority supercedes that of the State police, that was why I wrote about the rules of engagement among the Police here.

It is irrational and smacks of bad judgment if you intend shooting an equally armed man with a rifle, just to injure. You have probable cause to assume he will shoot you too, especially where there is conflict as stated here.

I am trained in weaponry handling, one of thy he first things you get taught is that if you are confronting an equally armed opposition and there is heightened tension, and you can draw probable cause that your opponent will shoot, then you have to shoot first...and that is "shoot to immobilize him".

The bad judgment started from the dead security operatives who went there without warrant, and won't stand down even when they had no legal authority to enter that property in the first place.

You might be right. If there are rules of engagement in the NPF, the Sars team should have obeyed the instructions of the IGP's team by dropping their weapons.

Cause?
Over-bloated ego, superiority complex and emotional imbalance.
Trust me, I know how it is.

That's the height of unprofessionalism on the path of the murderers!

I doubt it too... terrible use of tenses. It can't be true.

better believe it, the effect of Wazobia FM is real.

What is wrong with our security system? You are told to stand down, then do it since you are outnumbered and no one knows who is who.

It after that, that you would now call your various department for clarification.

What a life wasted.

But should there not be chain of command? Some police needs to be brain checked, formatted and reset.

lexy2014:
in this case were they serving a higher authority or they were serving d suspect? was d case initiated from d office of d IG hence warranting their intervention or was this just a clear case of insubordination &abuse of power?

Thanks for pointing that out to them, they were there based on summon from a civilian and not from igp so they needed to have stand down when they saw that the other team produce warrant and not claim that they are answerable to igp where clearly they came for an op not sanctioned by the igp.

"..... and in the course of argument, the security operatives were shot dead...."
