The driver sounded like a believer with such mercy and compassion for the policeman who ought to be dismissed from the service. Imagine being shot and still you are not demanding for the punishment of the officer, rather you are pleading the public to remain calm. I've never seen someone as merciful and calm as this driver. I wish him a quick recovery.

That's an aggressive move from the police officer's perspective.

You dint believe this story even after all the proven horror stories of what uniformed men do. Then you contradict yourself by calling them vampires. This "it didnt happen to me so e no concern me" is what remains a problem in that shithole.

So you didn't comprehend the first sentence.
The truck driver is covering up something, without argument the policeman shot at him. I believe they may have had little argument between themselves or the action of the driver may have provoke the policeman.
Policemen in road block that are looking for any little thing to extort motorist & this man go dey claim say he papers correct or him nor carry overload.

I don't just like police... But one can tell that this man was lying sha...
He indeed disrespected the police officer...
If u were stopped by a police officer, the first thing to do was to switch off your Radio so u can hear, bring down your window to know what he/ she wanted...

An average Nigerian man is totally aggressive... The way he was talking to this reporter, assuming he used that same tone, I don't think there would be a problem...

Indeed police officers needed reorientation and training on how to handle humans in more respectful manner in Nigeria...


Bros trust me Nigeria police men need full mental evaluation. I have been on a check point close to Okada along Lagos Benin express, and ran into a SARS check point. While they were checking my papers, there was this group of people they stopped, i think 2 guys and a girl. They all came out of the car while the guy was attending to the SARS guy the girl was leaning on the shoulder of the other guy ( which i think is her BF ) and from no where another SARS guy asked him why will he be so cozy with a girl at this early time of the day. The guy simply said "Oga na my babe na you know how e dey be na". He said this thing jokingly !!!.Oga police flared up and descended on this guy, beat him mercilessly. See the biggest favor we Nigerians did for ourselves was ENDSARS. The next is to advocate for Mental evaluation of police men.

Where u there?? The policeman said he he disrespected them, the driver mentality going by his narration was wrong and inpatient. Even abroad u wind down ur window in the snow to talk to a law enforcement officer. Nonsense
You were the one saying he misbehaved. I dont see what is rude in anything there . You are just trying to spin a narrative and blame the victim.
Even the abroad you speak of I have not heard a case where the police shot someone because he refused to roll down his window but continue. This is why you people deserve the type of country you live in. Enjoy it

Did I say he should be shot at?? undecided that was not premeditated and I said I cud all have been avoided which is the truth. If an officer talks to u should u reply? How do u reply with ur windows up?? We probably don’t know if he even snubbed the officer since he never wants to be flagged down since other smaller cars were allowed.


The driver was wrong 1st and the police was next by his reaction.

the Officer needed his head examined because u can't just aim at a defenceless person just like that...

The victim has No weapon... Nothing.. just shot him in the @ss which means he turned his back on the officers...

That man has 50% of the blame as well.. Polite and well mannered Nigerian male citizens is always mistaken for weak men by the society...It was always when they were explaining what happened u will see an element of meekness in them... I don't know if it was to draw more sympathy or something...
Though the story sounds strange..

How does he deserve 50% of the blame?

How does the act of 'being rude' justify being shot to accord the man 50% of the blame?

Una no just get sense for this forum

Some of you fools throw away your brains snd jump in here to type absolute shit.

With fools like you as citizens who are ever ready to act as bitches and lapdogs for policemen when they behave like touts, they will never change.

Im pointing out that your perspective is flawed. A man was almost killed for no reason. The only reason a man should be shot at is if he tried to harm the policeman. Anything short of a condemnation is you supporting the actions of the policeman here. Its just sad that when things like this happen your first reaction is to somehow cast doubt on the victim or make it look like someone is trying to tell a lie.

Did you hear the story of the Apo six killings?
Where a police officer killed 6 young men in cold blood because he felt disrespected.
There is no law that said you should respect policemen like they are your fathers. In the US, the police will give you clear instructions - wind down your glass, get out of the vehicle, etc.
Don't encourage animalistic behaviour please.

Im not surprised. They will justify anything that is bad. Murder, rape, stealing...... There is always a reason why something bad should happen to someone.

Some of them enforce laws with anger and frustration. giving some of them guns should be on mental evaluation... some of them deserves to be holding only Police baton
