Akin-David:


Believe in God..
And as for Nigerian Police they are the Crime we are all fighting.

nmagirl: i was expecting this kind of super story from the NPF. Will they accept before? even if they were caught red-handed. I always ask if there is any police officer from a good christian/muslim background, with good moral upbringing,self discipline, self control; who knows the definition of integrity, love and fear of God. OR is there any kind of oath or initiation they take during training that is always making 99% if not all of them behave like beasts?

i find it difficult to understand which part of the planet they came from. underverse?

draogtech: The police denied that its officers shot any civil defence officer.

The Lagos State Police Command has denied claims that its officers attacked officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, on Wednesday.

In a press statement issued by Ngozi Braide, its spokesperson, the police said the civil defence officers disarmed police officers responding to a distress call over alleged petroleum pipeline vandalism at Mosimi.

“The Lagos State Command wishes to use this medium to put the record straight on what actually transpired at Isawo-Ikorodu at early hours of today 27/3/2013 between the NSCDC and the Police,” said the statement.

“At about 0145hrs [/b]of date, [b]there was a distress call from DM security PPMC, Mosimi that they were experiencing drop in pressure on the pipeline. The Unit Commander in charge of Konu immediately pulled out his men on Konu axis under Inspr Sunday Gabriel to proceed to the scene.”

Ms. Braide said that as the police officers were approaching the scene, they heard sounds of “serious gun firing” near the pipeline area; and Mr. Gabriel instructed his men to head towards the direction.”

“Upon arrival, they saw a group of Civil Defence Corp Members coming out from the direction where the shooting was earlier heard,” Ms. Braid, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said.

“The NSCDC men challenged the policemen who were about four in number on what their mission was in the area; ‘saying that it was their sole responsibility (Civil Defence) to guide and protect pipelines,” she added.

An argument ensued thereafter, according to the police statement, and the most senior NSCDC officer, DSC Olufemi, ordered his men, numbering 14, to disarm, arrest and handcuff the police team leader and three other members of his team.

“The NSCDC succeeded in disarming the police team leader, Inspr Sunday Gabriel, handcuffed him, collected his service pistol, walkie-talkie, and police I.D card,” the statement continued.

“As they were about dragging him into one of their standby hilux vehicles, a phone call was put to the Police Unit Commander reporting the situation. The three other officers resisted the arrest and this infuriated Civil Defence Officials who started shooting sporadically to intimidate and subdue the Police officers.

“Before the Police Commander could arrive the scene, the NSCDC officials had taken to their heels abandoning the handcuffed and leg chained Police Inspector with one NSCDC personnel.”


Ms. Braide further said that afterwards, the Police Commander at Mosimi received a “shocking” call from the NSCDC Commander that two of his men had been killed.


“Up till now, the pistol of Inspr Sunday Gabriel, [b]who was badly beaten and stabbed by the NSCDC [/b]officials, including his other accoutrements are still with NSCDC,” said Ms. Braide.

The police account of the incident differs from the NSCDC version which stated that one of the policemen they encountered said that the NSCDC had no right to operate in the pipeline area.


An argument ensued and the NSCDC officers left the police only to encounter a hail of bullets from a second team of police officers, an NSCDC source said.


The NSCDC account also said that the arrested pipeline vandals made several phone calls to the police and escaped after the police attack.


The police spokesperson added that the incident led to NSCDC officers at Alausa, Ikeja, assaulting three police officers – Sergeant Charles Igiebor, Corporal Ekun Julius, and Corporal Okoro Charles – who went for National I.D Card registration exercise, on Wednesday morning.


“They also started attacking Policemen on sight in other parts of the State,” she added.
Ms. Braide advised Lagos residents to remain calm as “investigation into the matter has commenced.”

ocelot2006:

Replace the NPF, one of the oldest security organization and forefather of ALL OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, with the NSCDC, a bunch of illiterate touts and glorified security guards in blue? Are you high?

alpha conde: As army de oppress police na so dem wan oppress civil defence. Civil defence self go de oppress road safety. If una like kill urselves nigerians have nothing to loose

Acidosis:


Oya go find their trouble na... na that time you go know the glorified security guard...


Mind you, most of the 'glorified men in blue' earn more than your 'highly exalted men in suits'

Acidosis:

Lets face the fact... The NPF can never oppress the Civil defence.

Some Civil defence squad receives the same training with Nigerian army... (not all though). Not all have access to gun and bullets

This is some funny story..

#Pertinent Questions

1. Why were two law enforcement agencies busy debating jurisdiction instead of tackling the matter for which they were both called to the scene. Because there is "Egunje involved"! Definition: Jurisdiction = MONEY!

2. Why would an NSCDC official take a Police inspector into custody without due cause. There was "due cause"! => "Interfering with an attempt to change the receiver of BRIBE"! NCDSC officials were trying to upset the arrangement in place which "excluded them" and Police was interfering with that effort! You know yourself now, dont you?

3. This is the second case I am hearing of NSCDC officials not knowing there limitations. During my NYSC days in camp, a soldier head butted an NSCDC official until he was bloodied & fainted because of jurisdiction issues. I remember that the defence guy was challenging the soldier before the beat down. And how many times of hearing Army or Police being unnecessarily BRUTAL and SADISTIC?

4. Why didn't both agencies consult their ogas at the top before taking such actions. =====> Because "each Agency" has a "TARGET" to submit to "Oga at the Top", ... and each Oga does not care how the money is got.

5. How did the pipeline Vandals supposedly captured by the NSCDC escape!? Do you expect the Beneficiary to detain its "source of income"? C'mmon, dont underestimate the "intelligence" of Police Officers!

6. If the Police denies firing shots at the NSCDC guys, how did the deaths come about!? Eemmm,....This is a difficult one, even for a Policeman! I think they fell on their guns and it discharged "accidentally"! That line ALWAYS WORKED, abi?

7. Why was the inspector abandoned after he had been cuffed!? Because the Inspector was threatening to commit suicide! When you hear gun-fire from "all directions", try and think about one Inspector that you handcuffed and not run for dear life!

8. What are the rules of engagement of the NSCDC!?[/b] SIMPLE: NO RULES! Shoot first, (even if they are ordinary protesters or students) if fire power no reach, run for dear life! Same for Polize and Army. This is Nigeria now.

Pukkah: Wonders shall never end!

Civil Defence Corps 'disarmed' armed policemen? How? How many policemen were so disarmed? What are their names and ranks? Which station did they move from? Whose distress call were they responding to? What type of arms were collected from them?

Is it also not funny that no policeman die (none was even injured) but two Corps died? Does this make sense considering that the Corps were also armed?

Who first got to the crime scene? What did the Police do on getting there? Is it likely that the Defence Corps could have proceeded to disarm a supporting agency?

By the way, the Police are notorious for extra-judicial killings, human rights abuses, corruption and inefficieny. This ignoble image also does not help matters.

From all indications, the Police told a white lie. They've been highly unsuccessful in effectively policing the country and they are unsuccessful at this lie. Shame on them!

Okija_juju: Yes indeed they were provoked...

Why will the NSCDC give the Police a wrong website?!

The Nigerian Police spent over 2 hrs in a cyber cafe searching for ww.nscdc/datsall..

lastpage: You too like KWESIONS sef!



Now, stop asking questions and apply to join Police while l join NCDSC .... we meet on-top Pipeline or @Nkwobi joint, anyhow!

Lastpage!

Nna, I like your style..

No need to go pipeline, except na Beer dey flow through the pipe..

agoha_vivi: Who is lying now? I suspect the police are the culprits here.

Emiru:


mtcheeew.. I'm ashamed dah u still dwell in the past.. Whats ur church website..school or company? Or state or even 9ja site?


Ur time starts now.

You must be a Blokus...

If your life is so f`ucked up that you cant take a joke, inbox me so that I can give you very detailed instructions on the various methods to use in commiting suicide. Although in your case, hugging a transformer seems like the best option..
