Bcuz the victim is not your family.
many innocents have gone.
Pray b4 goin out

I am not justifying his death..

All I am saying is that, stop giving the Police a reason to shoot you.. #PERIOD!

Sadly, we cant take these guns from them.. So do the right thing and reduce the chances of being shot at by the police.. The Nigerian Police have no regards for the rules of engagement.. If you tell a Police man 'WAKA', that enough grounds to shoot you, talkless of breaking traffic law and trying to run..

This is what happens when you make laws without thinking through on how such will be implemented.Police men are mini-gods because of these laws.

But why do Nigerians put themselves in situations that gives the Police the opportunity to burst a cap in their a`ss?!

I know that the Police are crazy demented Niggas.. So I wont break the Law so I dont give them any reason to shoot me.. The Okada man that got shot, he was breaking the law. I'm not saying that its okay for the Police to shoot people at random o!! But if you take a lighted candle into a room full of gunpowder, I cant blame the gun powder for the explosion..


The police man in question was actually in mufti and probably not on duty, and according to Punch newspaper, the late conductor offense was that he step on his Highness shoe and refuse to apologize

DaWhiz:

I agree with you. But are you saying the government has no role to play in this?! Shouldn't they enforce the laws and reduce these killings. The police keep shooting erratically just because they get away with it. It shouldn't be. Those who are supposed to keep the law shouldn't be the ones messing it up. Fine, its Naija, but then its no justification. Stiff measures should be put in place even for the Law Enforcement Agents so that lives can be saved. IMHO


[b]Na wah o!!

In NIGERIA?! What do you want the government to do?! Shey is it not the same police that will investigate the case of a police-shooting?!

Okay, so FASHOLA and JONATHAN says on Televison 'Police stop shooting civilians', tomorrow, it will happen. In Nigeria were I have driven through over 50 checkpoints were the policemen had no name tags or numbers?! How do you even start?! The standard practice for the police is to vacate the area after a shooting and then come back later guns blazing to disperse the crowd and investigate their own shooting like they dont know who did it?!

If things worked right, every police shooting where the dead suspect did not have a gun or a knife or any weapon of sorts, the police officer involved should be arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, Abuse of authority/office and Murder 1. But then again, the Nigerian police will simply plant a weapon on you or just kill off the case like that..

All I am saying is that avoid confrontations with an armed mad man (which is what I consider the police)..

I was in my car one day sitting in traffic.. Next thing I heard was the sound of the Police convoy (i think escorting an Oyibo man). They pull up beside me and the patrol van is right next to my car.. The two police men behind the van had their rifles pointed directly at me.. Their hands on the trigger.. I begged them to please point their weapons away from me, they just looked and me and laughed at me like I didnt exist.. These are the kind of animals we have in the Police.. Now imagine that I came down from my car and started yelling or cursing at them.. They will just shoot me and drive off. First problem would be identifying them as the convoy had no company name on it. Secondly, they would label me a kidnapper trying to abduct the Oyinbo man they were escorting... Point is, I WILL BE DEAD..

Stay on the right side of the law, ALWAYS!![/b]

thelastPope:

What kind of flawed partisan logic is this? Is this how you people reason? Are the dead people not citizens of Lagos? If the person shot was a son of a politician, will Fashola say it doesn't concern him and they should go ask GEJ? What kind of logic are you people preaching in this country for pumpkin's sake! So a governor cannot come put and handle brutal murders in his state because he doesn't have state police? Do you know that every state in Nigeria has a security committee headed by the governor which has the commissioner of police, SSS and other agencies as members and that they meet like every week to review the security situation of states all over the country and the governor gives them assignments to act on? Why are you people like this? This is why Nigeria is where it is? You are defending your leaders even when they aint doing their job? You are defending the rot and evil in the system. It is a very big shame.

How can policemen just go around shooting people and the councillor of the ward, local government chariman up to the state governor not react? Is this not madness? SMH!!!

Thanks thelastpope.

I can never justify injustice,
I can not support wrongs just because it was commited by Fashola.
He has to condemn it as a Governor.
Call state security meeting and persuade(mark the word persuade) the commissioner of police to be more pro-active in eradicating extra-judicial killings.
After two weeks, If another killing is recorded, what more can he do? Sack the commissioner?
He can not punish a corporal in Police, He will only persuade their commissioner to do so.
He is handicapped by the fact that they are not under his control.
I think I am not wrong. Neither am I supporting wrongdoings.
So, I feel we should still be fair in the face being emotional.

No Kiyosaki.

There are two wrongs here.
(1) The bullying Danfo Drivers and conductors who can curse the day you were born just to have their way.
(2) The Police in Mufti who could not take the cheat and want to revenge.

No. 1 paid the ultimate price of death.
No. 2 must be made to face whatever your country's constitution have for his actions.

It is as simple as that. They are both wrong. So we should not paint it as if only the police was.

I will never support police. I know them so well.
Most bad heads in community ended up being a policeman. That we know.
But we must be cautious as citizen while dealing with them.
The Ketu scenario is pathetic, because someone who likes cheating pedestrians on road like a hobby,
met a Pedestrian(Police) who could no allow the cheating go unpunished.
It now comes to the Issue of attitude.
Danfo Drivers, Conductors and even Police as well as most of us commenting here need to change our orrientation on how we handle other citizens. We are all important and should all be respected.

eduson55: OK, so what’s going on? Why are policemen now shooting indiscriminately while enforcing Lagos traffic laws? Last week they beat and stripped an Okada man at Unilag Junction, yesterday they killed another Okada man at Ilupeju Byepass, today another shooting, another death recorded.

A bus conductor was allegedly shot dead today at Tipper Garage in Ketu. Lagos State Government, what is going on? Is there like an order to shoot and kill individuals who break the new traffic laws? Why do these policemen feel it’s okay to just take life over a misunderstanding? Why are we not hearing about arrests and prosecutions of these police officers? WTF is this?

Continue to see the bus conductor killed today. *viewer discretion advised*

It is as simple as that. They are both wrong. So we should not paint it as if only the police was.

I will give you the benefit of doubt that you are civilized and address you as such.

This is 2012, not 1960. For your first comment, the governors do not "persuade" police commissioners to do things. If that is what you want to sell either to deny responsibility or advocate for state police, please shelve it. You can only tell that to ignorant people. Did he "persuade" the commissioner of police to deploy over 1000 policemen all over Lagos to enforce and seize okada? Tell me how he "persuaded" him please. When he comes out every now and then to promise Lagos state citizens improved security, are you saying he is making such a promise based on "persuassion"? Please the kind of logic you peeps spread sometimes is alarming. How can we expect our leaders to take us seriously when we keep spewing this kind of logic on their behalf. If a policeman mistakingly shoots a member of the governors family, is he going to call the commissioner of police and "persuade" him to act? I tire for your logic

On the second issue, how can you come and talk about 2 wrongs? In what way are they commesurate? In what way are they comparable? Is execution now the punishment for a traffic offence? The whole world is now debating the abolition of the death sentence even for armed robbery and genocide and you are here trying to compare a conductor's dissent and a gruesome cold blooded murder. The mere comparison of the 2 is prepostrous and offensive. How can you say the gun cannot be taken from them? You lot keep giving these excuses and then come on other threads to condemn government. What you are supposed to do as citizens is to rise up in one voice and completely condemn it not find a logic to justify it or douse its gravity. Have you ever seen anywhere in the world were people spew this kind of logic you are spewing except in Nigeria? So we should all now hide inside our houses and not go out since the police is like that and there is nothing we can do about it? You guys make me sad and am sure some other Nigerians reading this thread are equally very sad at these your comments.sad sad sad

I am disappointed in your comment bro. So Nigerian citizens should now walk around in fear because we have trigger happy police? Is that a solution? Is that the future? Is that what you want to leave for your children? A jungle mentality? What kind of traumatic and backward society will that become?

I am warning all NIgerians that they should go read history and learn. If we dont learn, we will all suffer immensely and what we think we are suffering now, will be childs play. We must reorientate ourselves from this jungle and military mindset. We cannot claim to be civilized and be thinking this way. It is barbaric, it is cave like and it is a sign we are not civilized. These mindset is 1000 times more dangerous and detrimental to our collective progress than 10000 corrupt politicians!

Anyone who tries to justify these killings in any way or form has exactly the same mindset as the Aluu killers. Not one difference. The mere fact that we post these things online and enjoy watching them and even make fun of them is a sign we have a barbaric society.

There is no civilized country of the world where you can post something like this online and it will not spark a riot on the streets immediately. Some are even making fun of the thread and telling us about business and fun. It is because we have become a callous and wicked nation. We deserve exactly the leaders we have, maybe even worse
