Ipob/massob touts, lolx the military have finally warn you guys. If una like make una go disturb the peace of law abiding citizens tomorrow.
The IGP Solomon Arase just told us Bokoharam has killed 90,000 police officers so far. So it will be safe to assume the army has lost triple that number. Now, is this the same military you're making noise with? Cowards that can't face Bokoharam

Whatever is left of their battered remains will be properly taken care of down here should they choose to attack unarmed protesting Biafrans. Let them channel their energy towards routing Bokoharam.

mumu people u mean shoot at sight by shooting helpless and unarmed bus drivers or punishing civilians for flimsy excuses?

The OP is just too stupid to comprehend the write up. There is nowhere it said to shoot at sight. Some people need to apply for a refund of their tuition fees.

The Nigerian Army has warned its officers and men engaged in internal security coordination with the Nigeria Police Force to be alive to their responsibilities of adequate protection of lives and property and desist from taking sides.

It warned that officers found taking sides in any internal insurrection or failing to perform their responsibility as expected would face the consequences of their actions.

In a reminder of the Nigerian Army Rule of Engagement (ROE) for Internal Security Operations (Operation Mesa) obtained by PRNigeria from the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman, the force frowned against “the observed short comings especially negligence and outright ignorance displayed by troops deployed for Operation MESA and other Internal Security (IS) Operations.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, the ROE and Code of Conduct set out the circumstances and limitations, under which armed force may be applied to achieve military objectives in furtherance of government policy within Operation MESA and other IS Operations.”

“Any officer or soldier found aiding or abetting any act of arson, vandalism or unprofessional conduct, would be severely dealt with according to the extant laws.”

Once deployed on any internal security (IS) operation, Usman said “it is the duty of an officer or soldier to ensure the enforcement of law and order in conjunction with other security agencies.”

He reminded troops that they are duty bound to intervene in any situation to avoid a breakdown in peace, stability or law and order of an area where they are deployed.

“It is inexcusable for troops to stand aside and watch the security situation deteriorate leading to loss of lives or damage to property without intervening. Such intervention should, however, be based strictly on sound judgement and within the ambit of the code of conduct for IS Operations while exhibiting good professional ethics”, he added.

Citing Sect 217 (2) (c) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which provides that the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) shall suppress insurrection and act in aid of civil authority to restore order when called upon to do so by the President, Commander-in-Chief reinforced by Sect (cool (1) and (3) of the Armed Forces Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, (LFN) 2004, the Army declares “this presupposes that troops have to use necessary force to quell crisis resulting in deaths, injury and damages to properties”.

Other highlights of the ROE include:

Principle of minimum force and proportionality must be applied at all times; whenever operational situation permits, every reasonable effort shall be made to control the situation through measures short of using force, including personal contact and negotiations; the use of lethal force shall only be resorted to if all other means to control the situation have failed or in case of unexpected attack or suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack during which a delay could lead to loss of life or serious injury to personnel; and that any force applied must be limited in its intensity and duration; it must also be commensurate with the level of threat posed.

Others are that: force shall be used only when absolutely necessary to achieve an immediate aim; the decision to open fire shall be made only on orders and under the control of on-scene commander, unless there is insufficient time to obtain such order. Fire can however be opened if the life of a soldier, any law abiding member of the public and/or property of which it is our duty to protect is in grave danger; fire must be aimed and controlled. Indiscriminate firing is not permitted.

Also: Fire may be opened to forcefully stop any vehicle that fails to stop at a checkpoint or road block when ordered to stop for search; automatic fire will only be opened as a last resort; avoid collateral damage; after fire has ceased, render medical assistance and record details of incident both in writing and using audio/visual equipment whether or not casualty has been recorded; and whenever in doubt, seek clarification from higher headquarters.

But some of them still shoot indiscriminately. You can imagine an army officer waving guns at an harmless civilian in a car what for? Why would you point a gun at me to stop when I know I am suppose to stop at a checkpoint n my hands are clean? Such orders only means more killing wait and see!
Re: Army Warns Personnel To Be Active, Gives Shoot-At-Sight Order by texazzpete(m): 8:39pm On Nov 12, 2015
After reading this article, I fail to see anywhere where it says "shoot on sight"

If anything, it urges restraint and use of deadly force only as a last resort.

This is a statement from the army, I believe it should only cover areas where the army is needed. If it came from the police, that's something to worry about.
