Nigerian Police have released this video with some CRAZY scenes:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7mtoucTT3o

Life is truly a funny place..

Look at how those Rep's members were assaulting the Nigerian Police and the Police kept their cool..

The scene where the Car was trying to run over the Police officer was really interesting.. All I kept thinking to myself was; How would that scene had played out if those were Nigerian students or regular citizens.. I am sure that at that point, shots would have been fired.. if not on the car, in the air.

But seeing as it's big men protesting, the police went by the books. When the occupy Nigeria protest happened, someone was shot and killed.. When the Lekki toll protest happened, someone got shot.. When the Chibok protest in Abuja happened, the Police opened fire.. When students protest, shots are also fired.. But here we are with reps attacking officers with cars and even shoving them aside and nobody got merked..


The Police needs to remember that they are part of the lowest cared for in our society and that when the citizens protest, their interests are also covered..

I really wish the youths can come together in our society and wrestle power from these charlatans we call leaders.. what's the point of fighting the Police!? Shouldn't they be law abiding? Shouldn't they have used other non aggressive means of going at this? If it were other regular Nigerians that acted in that mannner, these reps would have called them animals..

Most of those reps should be arrested and charged in accordance with the law.. otherwise, let's throw out the police and run shiit on our own terms..

I am truly ashamed..

they want to kill our law makers the way they killed nzeribe,with tear gas

Billyonaire:


The madness was uncalled for, we have the judiciary. The Legislators are just one of the 3 arms of government. These organs of government were constituted for checks and balances. If the Executive arm of government, or even a political party that fed this ungrateful Tambuwal, constituted a panel to look into the decamping, then he, as a legislator knows enough to consult the judiciary for intepretation of the constitution, where its silent.

Again, this is not off-point, I know for sure that most legislators are constitutionally illiterate because in that video clip released by the police, I heard a NASS member, questioning the Authority of the Senate President to come into their Chambers. (Can you believe that a NASS member doesnt know that Senate President is Chair-Person of all Legislators ?).

It is not by might.

Once again, u fall flat. 7 became majority over 19 in Ekiti state just a day before. It has happened repeatedly.
If the police can be mad enough to get illegal, we will be 'madder' in order to stop them.
Watch and learn

You lying son of a bi_tch. When did any court order him to vacate his seat? Abi na u judge the case

janjaweeding is bad 4 ur health. Relax b4 u burst a gasket

Its like you are lost and blind to see what is hapening in the nigerian politics. The presidency n pdp plotted everything. What is the reason of closing the gate to allow them from entering in to their chambers while they are around? Coup or impeachment?

Someone should correct me if I am wrong.

Most of the protesters are from the North and South West


If I am correct, can someone explain why.?

Focus on the thread, this is how you people fail exams, drop out of school and join APC. Party of failures.

I will never commend an act of indiscipline. What is wrong is wrong. Two wrongs can't make one right. Those reps showed a great deal of indiscipline to the world, and I wonder why people commend them. The police was also wrong in their act and I feel the IG of police should be questioned (David Mark has already summoned him).
Howcome no one is considering that the senate president was also delayed by the police for about an hour before he was eventually allowed in? Howcome some people fail to realise that the reps shut out were both from the pdp and apc? Will the pdp shut out it's own members if it had plans to impeach Tambuwal on that day? Is it right for members of the house of reps to shout at, abuse, and even assault the Senate president ?
My fellow nairalanders, don't allow party affiliation cloud our sense of judgement. Let's judge based on facts. The police was wrong, the lawmakers were wrong, and we can't say it was an order from the presidency because there are no facts backing that.

I dont understand you oh. Arr u sayin the IGp is just being over zealous? This same man withdrew the security of the speaker immediately he decamped. The speaker is d no 4 man in the country. Am worried this same man will be the one ensuring law and order during the election . Trust me if those law makers didnt act dat way the house wldbhv met and the pdp law makers wld hv impeached the speaker. Wat will dey do? Go to court? We all knw by the time court gives judgemnt anoda election will be ongoing.
A policeman cant prevent me from entering my house for no reason. He must tell me why and wen.
And I hope u knw the IGP is part of the executive from the constitution. ? Someone somewhere is pullin some plugs.

Now u reveal ur true self. Ur earlier neutrality was just a facade! My comments are in line with this thread.
U think calling urself billyonaire makes u a billionaire? Ahh! The anonymity of the internet! I will feed ur whole village comfortably. Pls dont get it twisted!

Marvin67:


Very good answer. You have just provided an answer. The president CAN authorise the IGP to carry out a duty. Now let me interpret that, please correct me, if I'm wrong( I love to learn). The president has powers to authorise the IGP, but the IGP can also send his troops to wherever he feels there's likely to be trouble with or without the knowledge of the president that's all I'm saying.

My point now is the IGP sent his boys to lock up the NASS, which I consider absolutely wrong. But did he get that order from the Mr President? Maybe yes, maybe No, that's something I can't say. All we can do is make guesses.

bros the speaker is d no 4 man in the country, the igp cannot arrest or detain him without clearance or backing from above. Setiments apart.

This is an eyesore. Disgrace at its highest order.lawmakers now lawbreakers. You never can tell who people really are until situation forces out the real thing in them

People tend to forget in their comments that we have 3organs of government, the executive, legislative and judiciary. Each of them work independent of the other. police is an executive organ and for it to be in National Assembly, it must be with full authorization of Senate President or Speaker of House of Representatives. National Assembly has its own internal security administration under the Sergeant_at_arms who have the power to arrest and hand over to police. Its is just like the university system. Police would never enter into University campus to effect arrest of a student or staff without the permission of the VC or Head of Security because they have their own internal security measures. The question most of us have not asked is this; who invited the police within the precincts of National Assembly beyond their usual check point outside the compleneithetrly neithet Senate President nor Speaker invited the police. Therefore whatever the police came to do there was totally illegal and the law allows everyone the right to resort to a reasonable degree of force to extricate himself from any illegal action of another person. As long as we continue to believe that once a man is on uniform and carries gun as a law enforcement agent,then he is always right then Nigeria is doomed. Police was not right in the first place to have barricaded member of the House of Representatives from entering, itbis not justified anywhere in the world. Can the Senate President or Speaker of House of Representatives lead members of National Assembly uninvited to Aso Rock Villa? National Assembly exclusively belongs to all those men you saw jumping the gate and however you enter your house is nobody's business whatsoever, if you like break the door or pull down the gates and walls,you are within your rights. POLICE WAS CLEARLY ON AN ILLEGAL DUTY.

Really crazy scenes. The police were really good at keeping their cool.

THEM NO COOL ANYTHING, THEM NO GET MOUTH WHERE MONEY SPEAKS.

LFJ:


Jonathan and wisdom are distance apart.

Did you see Jonathan climb through that gate ?

Blind bathimeus everywhere.

Its just like a commedy show, but I see no reason why the police will block the lawmakers from accessing there offices. Where is Nigeria heading to?

That is what happens when you brutalise children in the name of corporal punishment and discipline.They turn violent at any slightest chance,even as "responsible" adults.

And you wonder why the country is on a backward trend with the caged chimps at the helm of affairs?

Trust me u guys u wont want to vote buhari in,d guy has his mission to turn Nigeria into a muslim country and to bring in sharia which mean deny ur religion(christianity) or die i dnt hope u will like dat even if are a muslim,and i wonder why u keep claiming u a muslim when u guys keep usin force,it like a religion to enslave.ur vote can prevent dis

LET PDP CONTINUE TO KILL IN IBADAN, EDO, YOBE, ADAMAWA, BORNO, RIVERS AND SO ON...WE WILL VOTE THEM OUTTTT....

Hmmm ....that National Assembly gate needs to be changed fa! I just can't believe the gate to a sensitive government building could be dat fragile in this time of B.H and other insurgency ....I wonder who be the insurgents now.

Anyway shei that police man Mbu (from the Rivers State Ameachi fame) now in Abuja right? If yes why we de worry our head naa many more to come!

Why hasn't anyone said anything about David Mark who was also delayed for about an hour before he was eventually allowed in?

Two wrongs can never make one right. When people who are supposed to be role models in the society showcase acts of indiscipline, I'd never support that. We have seen a situation where a lawmaker in Rivers state used the maze of the house to "break" another lawmakers head right in the presence of the police. We've seen 7 lawmakers gather to carry out a Kangaroo impeachment (Ekiti). We have lawmakers who now have their meetings in the state governors office, just for the sake of shutting out the opposition members(Edo). On thursday a lawmaker threatened to slap the senate president. Even after the senate president closed the assembly, some lawmakers still went ahead to sit (showing great disrespect to the office of the senate president)

My guys, this is not just about gate scaling or fence scaling, or party politics. It's about the mess that politicians are showcasing. Politicians now respect the law only when it favours them. There's indiscipline all around our political scene, I can't support something today and say it's wrong tomorrow. What happened on thursday was a show of shame on the part of all involved. Well, it's one out of the many show of shame.
