But what makes him leave the post where he had enough cover for himself and adequate advantage to kill those thieves is what I still don't get.
The bullets from that armed robber waa already penetrating the security post, and had killed two of his colleagues already (who were in the security post with him) He would have still died (a worse death) if he had stayed in there.
OP, God bless you for this post. Females need to read this, especially that part you compared the effects of a male being wayward and female being wayward.
nkemdi89: . This incident happened in Owerri and it was already a forgotten issue, do you know how many police men have died in armed robbery incident in Owerri after that one? Do you another policeman last week Saturday was killed by armed robber at school road, its getting rampant in Owerri, and police don't celebrate the dead, it's only when you are alive to tell the story.
Kylekent59: The first of the thieves to be aimed was the guy in white. Watch the video carefully and see, if u have a sharp eyes you will see the bullet passed him by. The target was missed and then comes the mopol again firing the ground 2 times before the driver moved forward abit.
I believe the first mopol man that left the post b4 the robbers entered was the first to aim the guy in white from outside b4 the other mopol inside the post fired.
Plz who observed dat?
No. You got it wrong. The man in white that left the security post before the robbers came in is a driver. And no, no one shot at the man in white. He shot at the security post immidiately he came out and i think maybe something ricocheted in his eyes.
charles009: As a trained marksman sergeant iboko made few mistakes. 1, he did not access the situation properly. There were two other officers with him, so no point panicking. You access and then engage. The two armed robbers that alighted from the vehicle shot sporadically, and advanced towards the target. (Money)The gun shot that reeled out from post, alerted the robbers attention.
The first target was to take out the driver...
2, he could have remained in his post, all advantage tilted towards his direction.
The robber behind, his role was to engage people from the outside, if he remained pinned down, at least his life would have been saved. Rip seargeant, a brave man.
Talk is cheap. The other two police men inside there with him were already dead. Bullets from that thief he eventually killed penetrated the walls and killed the two officers in there with him. So, staying inside there was like being a sitting duck waiting to get killed.
doctokwus: He didn't av any advantage staying in that room any longer after shooting that robber dead. He wud av been outgunned and "outbulletted"(pardon my English) in a confined space as that. D guy sitted at d back of d car that shot him was either a former military/policeman or a very experienced robber because if u play back u wud notice 2 things: (1)He was d one that used his gun butt to shatter d glass to create a wide and good view to fire from. (2)D same guy soon as he saw shots ring out from d police post didn't panick or rush out,as his dead colleague, but just laid almost flat on d backseat to avoid any bullet & being sited,waiting for d right moment,as if he knew d mopol wud come out.It takes an experienced person in d gun battle biz to be that calculative and calm,even wen u see ur fellow robber gunned down. So mopol Igboko was right to leave that almost suicidal security room,dont forget also he cudnt av known it was just one other robber and an experienced one at that,that was confronting him,hence his sporadic shots just to create a cover.I assume he assumed they were more than one in d car blazing with guns so he had to find an escape route which was d best choice he felt he had in that life or death scenario.
Best comment thus far. You are very observant. That armed robber at the back seat was most likely an ex force man or something. He was too experienced with the gun.
VocalWalls: That room has no other exit, all hell would have been let loose on that room. The robbers would have finished every living and non living thing in there, because he had killed one of their own.
Exactly! I dont understand these people on nairaland saying he was stupid to have left the room. I guess they have watched too many american movies. The robber already killed two police men inside the same room as his heavy fire was penetrating the walls.
persius555: A Nigerian Police Force personnel of eastern extract was killed in active service in owerri, without a traceable address (and most likely without a family member)?
We know more about the bank robbers but know absolutely nothing about a heroic police officer.
Something is fishy here.
It is based on security reasons. The remaining gang members might want to avenge their fallen soldiers death by killing members of the man's family.
bong4: You mean there were two other police men inside the security post? OP fear God naaa. Were they sleeping while all these were happening? Even when the guys drove off, nothing came out of that post.
Thats because they were already dead. They were firing from the door and got killed by the heavy fire of that thief in blue. The thief saw the two dead bodies and entered the security post without knowledge of the third police man at the window, and he got a bullet in his head.
JDelight: As an experience police officer u don stay inside the banking premises or in the security post instead u hang around with ur gun hiding beside u especially if there is a restaurant or bar around d bank and observe everything going on from your angle there. You no y? Bcus it will enable u be the first to attack your enemies wen ever they come around. It will also allowed u to call for help with immediate alacrity, also u are in a safer position which will enable u to escape n save ur life. All the same R.I.P the dead
Hmm! Now i understand why some police men always hang around the place i buy chicken food...which is beside a bank.
If you watch the video very well, you would notice gun shots were coming from both the security post window and the door. I have a feeling the police man that ran out later was the one by the window, and the ones that died were by the door, and got killed by the armed robbers heavy fire. Thats why the armed robber had the guts to enter the security post. He had already gunned down two police men, and wasnt aware of a third one.
ruggedtimi: so sad...bravest nigerian caught on tape, nigeria police havnt arrested the robbers yet with the cctv evidence ...trust NYPD to be at the robbers doorstep after watching that video
opal4real: The robbers believed so much in their jazz....the dead criminal bastard thought the mopol was already gunned down and his chewing stick odeshi failed him.
That driver and the guy with the money chop the jazz well, the force dey move them confidently.
cyril700: I think they were all on odeshi but one failed. which is y he had the moral to work into the security post. I also think d police guard is on odeshi too.
The police man was definitely on odeshi. Did you see how many bullets were fired at him as he came out but he wasnt hit.
madjune: What baffles me is how the driver confidently came out of his driving seat, unarmed as bullets raged past him.
And then, walked toward their marks area.
I'm happy that over confident fool was dropped by the door though.
I have watched the video over and over because i want to underatand the rationale behind the drivers actions. Was it jazz that gave him that confidence? Was it drugs? I just want to understand how he can walk around heavy fire like that and not give a fucck.
caye: Did any of you notice 1 thing: 1. The lady that entered as the car wanted to make their getaway.
No lady entered as they were making a gateaway. There was a lady that wanted to enter the bank just as they drove in, and she ran away when the shooting started.
aycorporat: And to think this armed robbers are well dressed looking corporate beats my imagination, which was why the security man allowed them in. Check out the clothes and their skin like real business merchants. Looks can be deceptive. I just hope the police can work on this using facial recognition to fish them out. Their dead colleague on the ground can be good source of investigation as well.
MhizDherbee: Hi guys! I want to try my hands on writing also.... Never written a story before buh i'm hoping to do a good job with your help.
Lemme call on my people; Evajael Lilyjoe567 PamelB She writes Kayo80.... These are persons I love and admire their works here on NL. So iffa don't mention you please don't take it to heart.... Thanks!
Lol! What i mean is that, i am going to send all you have read thus far to my editor, who will work on it, and then i will package it as the first part of a three part series and sell on Amazon. And in a couple of weeks, i will start posting the second part of the story on Nairaland. Don't worry, i am going to paste all the story here for free.
But, if there is anyone reading this that resides in America and wants to support my book on amazon, you can let me know. I will really appreciate it. It will be selling for just 99 cents.
