There is no cause for alarm. Those police officers are simply meditating so as to formulate more effective strategies for crime-fighting.

crowaddy:
Common guy,
Robbers such as these are clinically insane.
No sane Law enforcement commander will go for confrontation. The ideal thing especially in this clime is to delay response to avoid civilian and personel casualty and thereafter investigate and catch the lawbreakers when the least expect it. People take it that the policemen show cowardice by arriving crime scenes long after robberies but this is not the case but deliberate life saving actions as a life lost can never be replaced

You have touched on a very important point. Delayed response, AFTER the banditos took to the water again in their speedboat, would have been highly effective. Since it was known from the onset that these robbers arrived by boat from the lagoon, a helicopter gunship could have been positioned nearby, ready to scramble the instant radio reports confirmed that the attackers were back in their speed boat, and making their way out over the lagoon waters.

The helicopter gunship could then have taken off, followed the boat, and opened fire from above when there was a clear shot. The entire gang would have been wiped out in a flash, with ZERO risk to anyone else, since ALL other boat traffic on the lagoon would have stopped due to the general panic caused by the robbers' gunfire. Case closed. Game over.

When you stand up exposed NO COVER and with a LMG like that on full auto you make yourself a sitting duck you dont need to be a sniper, very easy for police to creep up on them in between the various abandoned cars and at 300metres with any decent assault rifle take them out.

The problem with that is that one doesn't know where the rest of the gang is posted. Clearly the gang was not concerned about any resistance from the police, but if someone had shot one of them, they would have killed quite a few more people than they did, as they made their escape.

I don't know much about guns....but did you just say..belt fed machine gun?

Were these robbers...or ?

We need serious arms control laws in this our country.

Yes indeed, the man at the intersection was holding a belt-fed machine-gun. At one point he held unto the ammunition belt, then he let it hang loose, dangling down from the breech of the gun like a snake till it dragged on the ground. The young woman commenting while the video footage was filmed also mentioned that the bullets were "falling out of the gun", in reference to the ammo belt dangling down from the weapon.

Regardless, that weapon can keep firing on full automatic for a LONG time, depending on how many rounds are in the affixed belt, and whether the machine-gunner has brought along additional ammo belts draped around his chest, ready to lock and load when the first one is exhausted during the fire spraying exercise.

Lesson I learnt:
1.The hausa man told me he was from Bornu and they were used to it. All they do when such happens is to lie down flat on the ground.

2. We never appreciate the value of life until evil come close to us. People in Bornu are facing such every day yet we seem to care less since it's not here.

Rule number one above is VERY good advice. Only those who have survived getting caught up within range of intense gunfire will know that lying prone and hidden out of sight is a FAR better option than trying to run for it, since running figures draw the eye of the shooters, who will then use those fleeing for target practice, so as to instill debilitating terror in all present.

While it is true that a person running for their life won't be prone to fatigue until later, it is far better to run only as far as the nearest hiding place, be that the culvert over an open storm drain, over a low wall or under a car.

nwafuluozoh:
Scary date!

I try to avoid driving anywhere at all on any Friday the 13th that rolls around, so as not to tempt fate, so to speak, and were I resident anywhere in the world under terrorist threat, I would be EXTRA vigilant on Friday the 13th, just because of all the loonies that may choose to give substance to the superstition about that date.

A one-word description cannot do justice in this case.

AIDS Victim.

Failed Gender-Change Operation Victim.

Post-Election Violence Organizer.

Illiterate Enemy of Freedom.

Firing-squad killer of women

Closet Jihadist and hate-mongering demon.

Paddock livestock bugger-miester

Boko Haram terror gang leader.

Embezzler as military tyrant, and then AGAIN as late mega-thief dictator Sanni Abacha's crony in crime.

Election Debate Dodger.

Certificate Forger.

Cadaver-in-Waiting.

Plucked chicken-neck Paaaaaaa Buhari Bokko Hari, of the bloody baboon and dog fame, may I humbly suggest you go ahead and prepare yourself to unleash the usual copious downpours of salty tears that will need to be shed once again, just as was the case in the aftermath of all your previous 17 electoral defeat wailing sessions.

Muaaahaha ha ha ha ha !

GBTYO:
One bullet to the head will make him drop that MPG.

BTW, from the youtube video here all I could see was AK -47 being fired armaturely

As an owner of several large caliber hunting firearms, I was thinking along the same lines, my brother, BUT, when the first one of those banditos drops from a well-placed sniper shot, the rest of the gang will light up ALL buildings and vehicles in the area with continuous fire, killing many more people, since those GPMG rounds break through concrete walls or steel as though they are made of grass.

GBTYO:
This is why we need to get gun ownership laws passed.

These dudes where obviously batshit high on some serious d0pe and no telling what they would have done.

Any legal gun owner who finds himself in close proximity to where this sort of major robbery operation is in progress would be well advised to keep his head down and hide his gun, because no matter the sort of firearms permitted to Nigerian civilians, there is NOTHING short of a military counter-attack that can withstand or defeat a gang backed up by men with belt-fed general purpose machine-guns, as shown in that video clip.

That one guy was wielding a belt-fed machine gun. If he had let fly with that thing in ANY direction, pieces of metal, concrete and flesh would fill the air until he lets off the trigger. For inside a metropolitan area, that machine gun represents SERIOUS overkill, so it is no wonder that the police fled, rather than engage them and face such a firestorm while holding "mere" AK47s.

Those traditional hunters are some badass muffukkus. Using only single-shot muzzle-loading black-powder dane-guns, locally made single-shot shotguns, and now a few pump-action shotguns, these hunters are disarming terrorist infantry forces armed to the teeth with heavy duty machine-guns, pickup truck-mounted anti-aircraft guns, assault rifles and grenade launchers.

That is some true bravery there, folks. I mean serious, balls-out heroism.

princeonx:
You almost mislead me from the way you insulted your father and generation from the beginning of your comment!
I was expecting to hear that those players who played 60 years ago can play the same way today since you expect buhari of almost 40yrs ago to be the same. I have tasted democracy something you probably won't experience in your bitter, miserable, and painful life.[size=18pt] If buhari (out of over 170m people excluding fools like u) or what he have to offer seems the best for you, dude you are a mad man[/size] which I can tell anyway from your above useless history.

Now about this diagnosis of madness, are we talking CLINICAL madness where the patient might need to be locked up and sedated for his own protection, or are you referring to the more benign variant of insanity where the patient can be permitted out of humanitarian pity, to go ahead and remove all his attire so as to run down the street screaming and throwing punches at imaginary opponents every few steps.

chidistone:
He Is Not A Man of His Words: Buhari cried in public and said he won’t contest elections again, yet couldn’t keep his
words: “This campaign is the third and last one for me; since, after it, I will not present myself again for election into office of the president.” – M. Buhari (April, 2011 at the Int’l Conference Centre, Abuja) Then again in 2014, he swallowed his words with this: “I humbly present myself to all Nigerians and to God, seeking to be elected as APC’s presidential candidate.” - M. Buhari (Oct., 15, 2014 Eagle Square Abuja)

Gazing into the immediate future, I would speculate that our Weeping General Buhari will once again entertain the world by sobbing, moaning, shrieking, wailing, gnashing his tobacco-stained teeth, and generally making a complete buffoon of himself in public, once he is again handed yet ANOTHER resounding electoral defeat, along with best wishes for his journey all the way back to Buhari Village, Chad Republic, after that terrible loss at the polls.

chidistone:
Buhari has not apologized to Nigerians for working for the most corrupt govt in the world then, but he still maintains that Abacha didn’t loot Nigeria dry even as Abacah loots are still being sent back to Nigeria.

The Born-To-Rule northern Nigerian crude oil monopoly bandits do in fact regard Nigeria's cash flow as their own personal income, so it is hardly surprising to see Buhari, who stole billions of dollars as a military tyrant, and again later as a selected crony of late Robber Barron Sanni Abacha, still remaining adamant in his delusion that the money those career embezzlers stole was "reallocated", rather than looted.

johnpalmer774:
dirty mouth Yarning Rubbish on NL ,

Say, are you related to the infamous Rosie Palmer ?

felifeli:
You are joking of course ? You think someone like Buhari with the wolves surrounding him can be voted out of office ? Once he gets there the first hing he will do will be to raise violent squads to silence opposition in very way so that he can have piece of mind to take long naps and medical trips abroad. Characteristically of an old lion, the only way you will be able to get him out if he gets there will be a military coup or assassination. Mark you, he will rule 20 years if he is able to get away with it. He will become the greatest despot Africa has ever seen, But by the grace of God almighty Buhari will never rule Nigeria.

Few can see past the blizzard of pre-election bullchit spouted by the ventriloquists propping up geriatric expired tyrant Paaa Buhari for yet another humiliating defeat at the polls, but Ogaawa FeliFeli is one of the discerning few who know what time it is, and of this I am feli-feli sure.

It takes a sharp deductive mind and far more than a working knowledge of Nigeria's post-colonial history, to promptly identify the eternally optimistic agenda of evil people that seek power at ALL costs in Africa's most populous nation, long before the first shot has even been fired.

When Feli Feli speaks, intelligence operatives worldwide take notes, I chit you not.

felifeli:
[size=14pt]Has he never heard the saying "Don't count your chicken before they are hatched " ? Anyway since he no go school that is possible. The only two terms the old fool will serve will be President of Landlords/Tenants Association for his street. Quote me. [/size]

How can we be sure that the Landlords and Tenants Association of Buhari Village, Chad Republic, would allow a stark illiterate such as terror gang leader Buhari, to RULE their organization ?

Perhaps, if he can produce at least say a primary school or kindergarten diploma, Buhari might get lucky and score a gig as Official Stray Dog Catcher out there in his squalid hamlet amid the burning desert dunes, and perhaps in so doing attempt to redeem his horrid public image by showing some real, honest dedication to the job at hand.

Buhari can serve as many terms as he likes, when he is duly installed without election, as the LIFETIME Seriki of Buhari Village, Chad Republic.

Long live Buhari Village, Chad Republic.

Long live illiteracy in northern Nigeria and Chad.

Long live Bokko Hari, of the serial election loss fame.

Na so, my brother. Who no know go know, when time reach.

I never knew that old Lucifer was also a poet of timber and calipers.

Carry go, Devil. Nothing do you. We dey follow you for back.

Can we rest assured that El Musiwa will be duly elected as Executive President of the Nairaland Elders ?

Aare Onakakanfo and Baale of Canada El Musiwa, in addition to having been a Nairaland member right from the start, when he went by the name Nigeria1, also proudly holds the distinction of having been banned more than ten thousand times, which is an all-time global internet record that MUST be recognized and respected.

These are encouraging photographs, and a few of those vehicles look like they were hit from the air. Good job all round.

If Buhari had not devoted so much energy to ffucking goats and other livestock, he would not have contracted AIDS and rabies, which have now turned him into a walking skeleton.

You're probably stuck in a village,dude,stop mingling with local people that think pot-belly is sexy,pot belly looks like it's loaded with amala,anytime I see a girl with pot belly,it makes me feel like she's smelling like Amala and she loves Amala and her belly is filled with amala

The good Samaritan cleaner who returned an airport passenger's misplaced 27 grand USD, was given a cash prize of TEN US DOLLARS, to serve as an inspirational model that would encourage other employees to develop the habit of promptly turning in all cash found on the airport premises.

Mrs. Josephine Ugwu, when confronted by reporters to seek a response about the paltry and puny size of her cash reward, half-jokingly observed that she might reconsider her stand with respect to the concept of honesty in the future, in light of the arithmetic applied after she unhesitatingly turned in the lost 27 thousand greenbacks she spotted in the toilet.

BluIvy:
You are the one who is smoking your socks. I told you and attached a source with the SA defense minister declaring these mercenaries as fugitives and instructing the security forces to arrest them if or when they get back to the country according to SA law and you are here telling me stories about worldwide fantasy novels you have read. They can retain the worldwide citizenship or you can give them Nigerian citizenshipif you like but they are definitely wanted in SA. Now deal with it or hug a transformer.

Chai ! This life no dey fair at all.

nonsense witchcraft girls

Ha ha witchcraft hos. You ain't lyin'.

It seems the majority of Nigerians of BOTH genders find enormous beer-guts appealing, rather than disgusting. Oh well, to each his or her own.

Nasty fat ugly hos are called "hot" in Nigeria, and that is one of the reasons why Africans in general are often mocked for having ZERO taste where it matters.

Yes indeed, this is further evidence that Ado Ekiti Gold marijuana brand is not for everyone, and in fact should be avoided at all costs, by followers of the supporter of APC cult leader Boko Hari

Revolution:
APC is giving PDP a taste of their own medicine. In 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011 the PDP presidedential candidates failed to show up for the debates. So, why is PDP interested in debating this time? Because they are losing. They avoided debates since 1999, when they were sure of victory, in the same manner APC is avoiding a debate now because they are sure of victory. Fair game.

Can you see the pattern?

1999: PDP presidential candidate avoided the debate and won the elections
2003: PDP presidential candidate avoided the debate and won the elections
2007: PDP presidential candidate avoided the debate and won the elections
2011: PDP presidential candidate avoided the debate and won the elections
2015: APC presidential candidate avoided the debate and won the elections

The strongly-accented gworro-teethed, chain-smoker's wanton destruction of the English Language, as practiced by illiterate terror gang leader Buhari Dongo-Yaro, would be difficult for anyone who is not a Fulani cattle herding illiterate, to understand, and therefore Buhari will continue to duck and hide whenever that terrifying phrase "Election Debate" is uttered anywhere within earshot of the massacre organizer Buhari.
