That officer wasn't hiding he's only taking strategic positioning, if only u knw how some of these things work.

Make e no hide arbi... How much una dey pay am... D police officer is taking cover, while waiting for reinforcement .. It's part of his training

He was only taking cover

Police man get family sef o.

He is a wise man. Naija doesn't deserve his blood at all.

You want him to die for another person money? Una try.

Fighting and dying for this country, you die in vain. Kudos to him man must live.

With the way his rifle is positioned I bet there was no immediate danger.

He who fights and runs away... 😂

He hides to fight another day.

No be say na fear. Him just no wan fight today. Make the robbers try am any dey this gallant officer vex.😂

How him go carry sellotaped gun go challenge stainless? 😂

lol! I Deir u, if you can Deir him

He's a wise man. Insurance does not cover him

EleventhWeirdo:
Tactical cowardliness/retreat, it's called.

He wouldn't have been able to deter the heavily armed and outnumbering criminals, anyways

Cowardice, how?!!

Even well armed and trained soldiers flee or retreat when they encounter superior threats in the battlefield.

He viewed the situation, and knew better than to be a cowboy.

Even abroad, cops are always advised to wait for backup.

What was he expected to do?
Attack by himself

What would be the fate of his family if he went to confront them? His chance of survival is 0%

When there is life, there is hope my brother

Ungrateful citizens, so he should jump out because he is a police officer right? That is called taken cover not hidden. You take that position when you are overwhelmed by your enemies and then you call for backup while monitoring the situation, from that position he can give the backup team the necessary informations on the number of the criminals, the direction from where to penetrate

Safety first

Owanbe police hehe. That gun na to support plate of semo and efo riro for party

Nigerian police don't have hard wares on them for safety ..

The guy did the right thing to hide as only him could not have overpowered the robbers.

But to me hiding alone is not enough, did he make any attempt to call and notify relevant police units responsible for fighting armed robbers while he was hiding there?

Tactical retreat due to superior fire power and numbers from the tangos. If I were him, that would be my defense

He has to hide.
Even american police will hide and call backup

How many bullets do u think he has inside that magazine. Sometimes one, sometimes two.. somethings nothing. And u won't him to confront arm bandits with artillery....
That officer deserves 3 bottles of Heineken. Chilled ones with pepper soup. Good job.

He is taking cover, not hiding❗️❗️
Better understand the difference.


When you are facing an armed adversary,
you take cover behind a solid structure
or inside a hole and prepare for defensive
or attacking action.

Nigeria is not worth dying for

Leave the nay sayers....as if anything happens to him now Dem go take care of him family

He is not Rambo now. How can only him face all of them.

Lol, he's simply alone, outgun and outnumbered. He'll be foolishness if he confront them alone.

NaijaGoBetter2:
He should remain hidden rather than discover his lifeless body. Underfed police officers, surviving on a 100k salary (if not less) in this Tinubu Nigeria, with three kids and one wife (the responsible ones among them), with numerous family issues. Unfortunately, the care for deceased officers is lacking, as even the federal government delays their entitlements after retirement or death in service.

point of correction.

His basic salary including specs is 50k monthly.

How many bullets does he have. To confront the dating robbers. He would be shot at sight once seen, better he takes cover than be a statistics.

I don't see this as hiding rather, he was strategically positioned to confront any situation that comes his way. If he was hiding, he wouldn't be there at that spot plus, he would have removed his uniform and completely removed himself from the scene of crime!
