Maniagist1:
The Nigerian Army on Wednesday offered explanation for the killing of three policemen on covert duties in Taraba State by its personnel.

The explanation was offered in a statement by the spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Colonel Sagir Musa.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy Commissioner of Police Frank Mba, had earlier in the day said three operatives in the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team, headed by DCP Abba Kyari, were killed by the soldiers in Taraba State despite identifying themselves as being on covert operation to arrest one Alhaji Hamisu, a suspected kidnapper.
Hamisu was said to have been involved in several crimes, collecting N100 million as ransom during one of such operations.

However, Mba said as Hamisu was being driven to the Police Command Headquarters in Jalingo, they were engaged in fierce shooting by soldiers, resulting in the death of three policemen, a civilian and the escape of the suspect.

But Musa countered Mba, saying the IRT operatives refused to stop at three military checkpoints and then engaged the soldiers in a shootout.

He said some villagers had raised the alarm that the operatives were in an unmarked bus and refused to stop at the checkpoints, which resulted in the soldiers giving them a hot chase.

On the unfortunate incident that occurred on the 6th of August 2019 in which troops of 93 Battalion Nigerian Army Takum pursued and exchanged fire with some suspected Kidnappers who indeed turned out to be an Intelligence Response Team from the Police Force Headquarters Abuja on a covert assignment from Abuja resulting in the death and injury of some members of the Team.

On the 6th of August 2019, the said Nigerian Army troops, while responding to a distress call to rescue a kidnapped victim exchanged fire with the suspected kidnappers along Ibi-Wukari Road in Taraba State.

The suspected kidnappers numbering about ten (10) and driving in a white bus with Reg No LAGOS MUS 564 EU refused to stop when they were halted by troops at three consecutive check points.

The flagrant refusal of the suspected kidnappers to stop at the three checkpoints prompted a hot pursuit of the fleeing suspects by the troops.

It was in this process that the suspected kidnappers who were obviously armed opened fire at the troops sporadically thus prompting them to return fire.

In the resultant fire fight, four (4) suspects were shot and died on the spot while four (4) others sustained various degrees of gunshot wounds and 2 others reportedly missing.

It was only after this avoidable outcome that one of the wounded suspects disclosed the fact that they were indeed Policemen dispatched from Nigerian Police, Force Headquarters, Abuja for a covert assignment.

What kind of interagency mistake be dis one now? Abi someone is lying ni?

Something is amiss. And because of the high level of cover up and deceit in our systems, this case, just like others, will be swept under the carpet.
Human lives mean nothing any more in this country. We have become endangered species in our own land.

If you critical look at this story, the Nigeria army killed them

Must you bad mouth your country because of Trump? What about the white supremacist opening fire on innocent people inspired by Trump and president is yet to condemn them but blame it on mental health but people like you will accept whatever shit he say to us.

Who's worse a civilian opening fire on innocent civilians in a shopping mall and soldiers chasing a van suspected to be kidnappers. In as much as the story is not straight it's justifiable than what those supremacist are doing but you won't condemn them because of inferiority complex Nonsense. Every County has its own wahala.

Badmouth?! are you blind, dumb, deaf or what? have you been living under the rock? haven't you seen heard or read, even experience the illegal acts of these idiots? Or you are to blind to see facts and things for what the truly are. Before Trump said anything is it rocket science for you all to see that Nigeria is useless and not a country? looting after looting, perpetrators caught and set free with the billions they stole and even elected into another government position? Maybe you are not only suffering from inferiority complex but some kind of insanity if I have to reiterate to you how bad Nigerian has been. Pick time to showcase your lack of common sense bro, this is not a good time to do so.

A joint team of NPF and NA must investigate this incident. I don't trust those soldiers' narration.

mgbadike81:
The idiots have been giving similar stupid reasons over the killings at Nnamdi Kanu house and Nigerians were either in support or quiet, the police were also captured on camera stealing in his house, the police gave another stupid reason and the same people supported or kept quiet. Now it's their turn to eat each others flesh, let them enjoy it.

Don't mind the foolls, honestly most Nigerians are dummies, how can you support the killing of other tribes just because of ethnic differences or religious differences and they were happy with the videos of police that were supposed to protect the lives, properties and serving their citizens killing, miaming and robbing its citizens. The life of 1 cow worths about 1000 lives of Nigerian citizen, a cow has rights but the average citizen with no connection or money to sort things off don't have any right and some inconsequential fool is asking/telling me that I'm badmouthing my country because he's been under mental slavery for so long that his brain if he has any now thinks a useless govt is a normal thing. One of the useless, annoying, psychopaths among the millions of other illiterates we have here in this zoo.

Lack of communication or evil intents on the part of the police must have been the reason

Wetin concern me. Police and army are enemy of we civilians.

They should kee themselves. In fact police should retaliate fast so they can continue d cycle.

Obialu egbum gbuo onweya! Simple!

Where do we go 4rm here? Who did this to us? Nd who av we offended dat has refus 2 4give us

dfrost:


They should have stopped and id'ed themselves. It's not hard.

IF THERE WAS SOMETHING FISHY, THE ARMY BOY WOULD HAVE FINISHED THE REST.

been reading so much comments on this news trying to figure out what the true account of events might be ,and it seems the puzzle is falling into place with the bolded . my take on this is that an INTELLIGENCE RESPONSE TEAM OF THE NPF will know a lot about the modus operandi of highway kidnappers to know they can operate in millitary uniforms making it dicey for them to stop at a millitary or even police checkpoint at the highway . the suspect being set free can't be explained away though . sad loss . what a way to go .

Witnes:

Please bet with your right scrotum because d left one u bet is not working, lol. but on more serious note, d army only try to cook some defense ruse and to me, their story and excuse is not heavy to convince d public on d sad incident, and to look at it that no single casualty on d army side fully displayed of ambushed.

This sham will still slide just like the others before it.
On a lighter note, the left one is actually the power house

So hausas too have a kidnapper
( Alh. Hamisu) in the rank of Evans and they re trying to remove the speck in our eyes. Hmm

A country that also support her citizens in killing innocent people and blame it on mental illness is also a shit hole. Hope you know America have a bad history when it comes to evil doings than Nigeria? The difference between Nigeria and America is leadership our Leaders steal from us save it in foreign accounts while western leaders steal from other countries and better their Country. Our Leaders are senseless there's are a little bit sensible.

But I find it funny you didn't condemn Trump that called your country a shiit hole for not condemning the supremacist or he's right about that one too but you quick to condemn your own. I don't support the Nigeria government likewise any other government supporting evil but it baffles me when Nigerians will condemn their country and praise other countries for doing the same thing. You're ranting three police men were killed but you didn't condemn someone who engineered the killings of 23 people. That's hypocrisy at its peak.

When civil kill each other will call goverment for help buh when goverment kill goverment who should we call Me God! In dis mattar i blame d police dey carry Danfo raid around istead of indetify Police car and they'll not obey trafick law

Mk12:
you can continue killing yourself. untrained animals

The police knew the soldiers were on the payroll of the kidnapper kingpin that is why they no stop.
To confirm it. The soldiers should have gotten everyone(dead or alive) in the bus to their barracks until their identities can be confirmed. How could the kidnapper have escaped. I doubt.
Corruption is everywhere. Shameful incident.

Dash me money to do my traveling expenses.

honyham:
The clear Truth about the matter is how can kidnappers be driving on high way to the state capital?
A man with handcuffs escaped and police man with gun where killed?
They failed to stop at 3 check points? Will all kidnapping case they take u to the bush first and other things followed.
My submission the army are partners in the business with the criminal and to save them from being exposed they have to arranged the killing of these wonderful team. RIP to great corps

You make sense bro

True talk.

elganzar:
They did wrong by not stopping

But most of those kidnappers are often seen on camos...probably the police felt something was wrong, or just simply didn’t want to take chances

Either way, a trained soldier is not your mate

That story by the soldiers does not add up. How come everyone but the Alhaji himself was killed? The main man escaped yet the police were killed. Arrangee

Trump is an assshole everyone knows that, he says a lot of stupid shit sometimes. American have done bad things to other countries and still doing yes but atleast just like you said They do it mostly to other countries, take advantage of them and all, I didn't praise Trump and neither did I cast him earlier on but that's not the bone of contention. What matters most is how we treat our people, we should be protecting our people, helping them but that's not the case.

The policemen first opened fire And the soldiers didnt suffer a single casualty I don't believe this!

The account of the police seems more plausible

It is a sad day for Nigeria, the army personnel's need to arrested and prosecuted ASAP.

i hope they kill more of each other.. ..

We all need to look at this matter with both angles. The policemen might be thinking those militarymen might be militants, as we all know that they also wear camo. Again, those military guys might also be thinking those policemen might be kipnappers because they are not on uniforms. But wait o. . .are you sure the army didn't intentionally free the said kipnapper? I'm just thinking loud!

FarahAideed:
Even after we have watched a video of these men being dragged on the ground with their gun wounds after showing the soldiers their ID cards

The soldiers murdered those police men in cold blood, you engaged them in a shoot out, yet the captive under their custody with handcuffs escaped. This was pure premeditated murder, the Nigerian army can never cease to stop disgracing this country
