Official: Drunk Nigeria police kill 3 at funeral

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Authorities say four drunk officers with Nigeria's federal police force opened fire on a funeral service they were assigned to guard, killing at least three mourners.
The shooting took place this weekend in the village of Akoko in Nigeria's Delta state. Delta state police spokesman Charles Muka said Monday that the officers opened fire for no reason after drinking heavily.
Muka said the four officers were being held pending the filing of criminal charges over the shooting.
Nigeria's federal police remain incapable of stopping ethnic and religious violence sweeping the oil-rich nation. Critics say its officers instead shake down motorists for bribes and make sham arrests to demand bail money from families. Many officers serve as personal orderlies to the country's elite.

Dis police guys are insane,day shud b jailed

Na so the other day, one soldier whose breath was reeking of hard liquor stopped our bus on the way to my village and demanded to search everybody's bag. He only stopped when I dropped some military slangs that indicated affiliation to the armed forces.

This is why this country has gone to the dogs. Who monitors the activities of these people when they are on duty? They drink, smoke ganja and do all sorts, and woe betide you if you fall into their hands. Na God go save us o!

Na today

This one na accidental discharged

anything i see Delta i think of BEAF Hope he was among those shot?

Seriously, its unfortunate. To the family of the dead, Abegiii take heart.

heavily armed policemen guarding a funeral, men

That's horrible.those police must be sentenced.

What do you expect from these policemen who took advantage of awof (free drink) to get drunk? Awof dey kill o!

REAL VERSION OF "DEATH AT A FUNERAL"

beware of dose guys in black, dey are permanent mourners. their job is 2 make people mourn, dnt get close 2 them,

Are the killers still alive?

They (police men on duty) almost shoot me dead in 2006 for no reason. They confessed that they knew i was not the owner of the indian hemp that was found in the commercial bus i boarded but they chose to manhandle me and others to enable them get 5k each from the 18 passengers in that bus.They made money that day. May God help us in this country.

Kaydadon:

Dis police guys are insane,day shud b jailed

Jailed? they should be hanged to show warning to others that may drink and discharge

they should relax in jail. When they are out of jail, they will spend the rest time searching for a new job with unemployed youth

Maybe the policemen decided to shoot because the person that died did not give N20 on the way to heaven.

If you have them among your family member, never associate with them cause, they will send armed robbers to collect from you, if you beleve you are the big man in the family

Alllllllllllll Nigeria Policemen are same same.
They are all agents of death and sorrow.
They are curse to this nation.

Let the trigger-happy mothafuckas roast. Wasting life for no reason

Haba pepper spray when thief dey carry AK47?

This is an unprofessional conduct and must be tried to a logical conclusion. But why were they given alcohol in the first place? I think this is a lesson to our big men that often hijack these policemen from their primary duties at the detriment of Nigerian.

RIP to the death ones, this how they kill innocent souls on daily basis

Abeg wetin dem dey guide for funeral

Only in delta can such a thing happen, thank God I have been bought by Ogun
