Guy we don't do norm here in Nigeria.
If the rioting crowed realises that the police are rubber-bulleted.
The police are finished!

[color=#990000][/color]talk is cheap. Wen do dey hope to effect d plan. How about d change of uniform. All dey know how to do is talk. D NPF needs A̶̲̥̅ total make over. Rubber or paper bullets is not d problem
Y not tap into d NYSC n recruit fresh graduates who will help bring sanity into d force

Take it you never been shot with a rubber bullet.

hmm! I de watch

I will say this again!

gulfer: They should remember that Robbers, Kidnappers, Boko Harammers have not dropped their assault weapons. This change in firearms should only apply to Policemen within City patrols; it should actually be Batons and not bullets for them while the anti crime should retain their weapons-they should actually be upgraded.

That how I saw it. I doubt the regular cop on patrol will cary a shot gun with rubber bullets. Normally it pulled out for when there is riot and is used along side shield and baton cops, tear gas and if there is one a Water Cannon. And the cops will still have side arms and access to heavier lethal force.

KINGwax: Nice move, but let's see it these ways,
1. Since i knw d police dnt have a real bullet, i can be ready for trouble anytime including resisting arrest.
2. If police dnt have, mayb the armed robbers will be more happy
3. As i police, knwin i dnt have a real bullet, i can fire at will to any part of a body. An effect which will be dizziness or being hospitalized.
4. Without real bullets, nigeria is doomed, and with real bullets too, we're dead! Either-way, we're finished

funny but true #smh#

@topic

Well Its a welcome development sha, anything to upgrade nigerian police force is welcome....

Well i think the rubber bullets should only be used in instance of riots and not combating crimes. Thats all i have to say concerning this topic.

ALLELUIAH

OLUWA ESE O!

DONT FORGET THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER GOOD THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO COPY FROM THE WESTERN WORLD. WHAT WE REJOICE ABOUT TODAY IS A BASIC PRACTICE IN THE WW. AFTER

COUNTLESS THOUSANDS HAVE DIED FROM THE HANDS OF HEARTLESS, EMOTIONLESS, 'AFFECTIONLESS' NIGERIA ARMED FORCES?

NIGERIA IS STILL LIVING IN THE 19TH CENTURY BY THE WAY WE TREAT OUR CITIZENS. EVERYONE IN POWER IS AN OPPRESSOR IN THE MAKING AND IN REALITY!

THE COUNTRY STILL HAS A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm

Arosa:

The implication of this new development is that: by default armed robbers will also use rubber bullets.

Hehehe I didn't say it oooo! Does that mean there is a direct relationship? lwkmd

akereconfi: Imagine if d Police wf Rubber Bullet accidentally run into a group like dz @ Pix n d group knws dt these Police are armed wf Rubber Bullet. Chaos, Disaster, Calamity, Hazard.
Poor Policemen.
As if d ones guarding d IG will carry rubber bullet....mtchewwwww

Just imagine an angry police man spraying your life with rubber bullets....you are better off dead....noooo you are a dead man already!
