Very smart soldier. He has no business interfering with a bank robbery. They may even accuse him of being one of the robbers if he gets killed in the crossfire.

BluntTheApostle:


Shut up there too!

Soldiers are not zombies as popularized by Baba Fela.

They have brains too.

You don't go out fighting when you are clearly outnumbered.

He is a kid so they think it is a movie.

thundafire:
In developed countries such can't happen na to death. Because even if the run there are helicopters following them every where but here one can't see such instead the helicopter is used to carry governor and his cronies

In addition....road blocks on various exits..

This has politics written all over it. The stage is set nd d game has began.

They are wise, they didn't want their wives to become widows and children orphans when they know the govt of Nigeria will never help those they would leave behind.

This mod is a kid.

Did you expect a single soldier to engage them?

Depends on his training, competence and the resources available to him at that instance.
He has the advantage of cover and stealth, while they are in the open.
Field Craft 101 says he has all the aces.

Nigerian soldiers were seen hiding as gunmen rob five banks simultaneously in Uromi, Edo State on February 24, 2022, IGBERETV reports.

The robbers were also spotted carting away bags of money after robbing the banks.

What's the big deal here? Soldiers are only trained to assault civilians and extort motorists.

Una try

You expect him alone, I'm sure without weapon to face those robbers

Haba! Safety 1st.

Steve0979:
Honestly d way some of una dey comment eehn primary school get sense pass some of una.How can 1 soja fight 30 persons with perhaps more superior weapon to him?how mtchww all of una no get sense

Mr sense.. but the soldiers went to Ladipo market and shot some people dead, but they can burn houses in a village because of a fight with a civilian. Nobody is saying the soldier can overpower the armed robbers, we are simply saying that the soldiers should keep d same energy they keep on innocent civilians on these armed civilians .

They are outnumbered. Besides those soldiers aren't hiding per se - they have taken up defensive positions. Who hides in the open like that

QuotaSystem:


Even the best trained foreign soldier will always take cover when clearly outnumbered; while they wait for backup.

Which backup? Okay I don forget. The ones wey dey come when the Armed Robbers don go finish...

I come in peace!!!

Frigga13:
See them defending Nigeria soldiers.. even encouraging them to run and hide in mist of action..

But Ojukwu IGBOHO And Kanu did the same .. this mouths Na dem still insult them for running

Yoruba sef.

You don't know those people. Their hypocrisy and double standards have no rivals. The soldier here did the right by choosing to live to fight another day because clearly, he was outnumbered just like Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu did same but afonja hypocrites defend the soldier and call the others cowards.

Soso990240:
But the best trained foreign soldiers dont intimidate civilians.. so, dont compare the 2..

When the civilian population openly supports proscribed killer terrorists, then the line differentiating them becomes increasingly thinner.

What is the Anti Corruption agencies doing about this event now.EFCC should be proactive and starts arresting these armed robbers,same way they are going after yahoo boys.

immortalcrown:
Gallant soldiers. He who fights and runs lives to fight another day.

exactly that's the point.you don't expect a single soldiers to fight those Armed rubbers.

In no time those rubbers will be apprehended

Which fieldcraft?

After the first shot is fired his seeming advantage of surprise and cover will be blown. This is real life not rambo movies.

There will be massive civilian casualties if there was an exchange of fire between soldiers and the robbers. They did the right thing.

Dat soldier man nah my neighbor ooh nah him go dey make mouth for our compound say him fit face 200 gunmen can u imagine See am now yeye man

5 is outnumbered?? Bruh this what is killing black race always find excuses to hide their flaws.. What is the excess of the training a soldier goes through if he can't fight 5 arm robbers like just an ordinary arm robber and a soldier should be equipped if he had a pistol on him he can gun down 5 of them... Because he is trained. This can't happen in Europe if you think this is a lie go online and search soldier stopping robbery you'll see soldiers stopping crime without uniform and unprepared the issue here is he either scared of death or isn't equipped

Na to kill innocent igbos and burn their houses in the east in the name of fighting IPOB they flex muscles.

Cowards!

allow them to write nonsense on nairaland what ll only him do to many guys well armed

Yoruba sef.

So what do you want him to do? You saw a single soldier maybe who ran into rubbers barehanded and you want him to go and confront AK-47 wielding men because he is a soldier? You must be joking. Maybe you too can join and show example. Talk they say is very cheap

Onepeople:
Spineless Nigeria soldiers, they are ready to demonstrate strength when they sight armless civilians, go to imo state and watch them burn your home because you insulted their wives.

shebi that's why Ina Kil pple like akunyili and other Ibos continue Ipob fanatic

The soldier must have been out numbered. He needs to take cover and wait for re-inforcement.

Before even terrorist, soldiers still intimidated civilians.

Telling someone’s father to frog jump in front of his children for a simple traffic offense. Why not hand them over to a court to pay a fine?

Soldiers that have been telling civilians to swim in gutters.

Don’t act like Nigerian soldiers haven’t been this way since even your childhood.

Gallant soldiers

Dagah2:
He was only taking cover...
You don't come out shooting when the enemy has his own gun too. You hide and shoot or shoot and hide....you no sabi the game pass them.

But in this scenario, the Soldier forgot he was carrying a gun......it is part of the game wey we no Sabi?

This soldier was trained to beat civilians and not to fight robbers. This proves that BH is gaining ground.

Unarmed civilians are standing as onlookers while the armed soldier is taking cover.

If this matter is truly investigated, there might be an insider based on the fact that the robber knew a high volume of cash was available before they strikes.

Those robbers be like ordinary humans for ur eye ?
Soldiers na human being too oh , would have been a clear suicide if that guy show up only him with robbers that armored tank no go enter their body

Go and sign up. Then you will have the opportunity to show us your bravery when situations like this happen

Na so them take they take cover for your village? Hope of the robbers them kill?
