There should not have been this unfortunate incidence were Nigeria a sane country.

Nice. I hope the committee will reveal its findings to the public. I want to believe those soldiers didn't aide the escape of that kidnapper.

Disconnect among all tiers of government, armed forces, paramilitary and the citizens of course.

I blame both the soldiers and police officers involved everybody was doing show of force. Imagine if the police didnt return fire but surrenderd instead and then identify themselves later. What would have happened.. Let justice prevail abeg.




MODIFIED: i just watch a video clip about the incident and its really disturbing. The military should be held accountable. Am sorry guys 4 my previous outburst. I bow my head in shame.

Where is the kidnapper?

Gfd

You know the kidnappers are Fulani and Buhari protects Miyetti Allah with his last blood

These getting interesting I hope the senior men from Abuja won't connive with the Nigeria army to hide findings, the motive of these killing must be thoroughly investigated to avoid future recurrence

CHECK MY PROFILE, your electronics at best prices

Only segalink can save the Nigerian police now

They always set up a committee

We are following

Stop lying. The police did not return fire.
If they did, some soldiers would be dead.

Your excuse isn't important. Just kill as many as you can, after all you are brothers at arms. And the so called police have been reducing the civilian population at will.

They should protect the injured policeman. He is the only one to tell us the truth about everything.

Those soldiers may want kill him to conceal the truth.

Nigeria police, this is what poor innocent families in the south feel each time SARS takes an innocent life. It is funny you no longer love the same currency you often trade with. Anyways, may the souls of the of the police officers and all the innocent souls taken by SARS and NPF in general continue to rest in perfect peace.

If the police opened fire, how come none of the soldiers was injured or shot?

How come the arrested kidnapper wasn't shot during the exchange of gunfire?

We have seen when soldiers rescue kidnap victims, they are usually taken to the nearest army formation. Where was the kidnapper taken to?

The arrested kidnapper was handcuffed, where did the soldiers get the key to uncuff him?

Hmmmm

Police have been killing innocent civilians

Army have been killing innocent civilians

Now army killed police, civilians are like......

Nice.

See as police con dey form victim. Two useless forces

How many truth have come out from those trigger happy SARS. Nigerians are not interested in what happens to them. They both carry arms

Stuff happens everywhere bro. No country is Eldorado

Avoidable clashes.. avoidable aid and abbetty..

Soldiers are better shooters than policemen. One soldier can take down a dozen police officers. I heard of one that beat a whole police team and even disarmed them in Ibadan.
