How many soldiers are there because you are talking of an army of soldiers while in actual fact, it is just 1 soldier with life and blood and water flowing through his vein.

That said. Now let us assume, the well trained soldier took up cover and he started shooting the thieves from a vantage point, what do you think the robbers will do? And who do you think will suffer it? The masses because the thieves will shoot sporadically at the crowd.

Don't let hatred eat the better part of your brain

woo make una dey argue na naija we all dey nobody cares.. If he like make he attack if he like make he no attack na him Sabi... Am not surprised you all are saying this. The reason you think what happened is right is because since you was born you never see either police or soldiers stop robbery the arm robbery always go free even if the robbers got caught its either they got caught by the citizens, so this left many of us thinking arm robbers are superior than the forces if it's to where we often witness security we will see the flaws there

He wasn't hiding, he was only observing the situation of things and passing out intelligence and orders to his colleagues outside. Lol!

zikter:
How many soldiers are in the video? I can see only a soldier

lol u should use your discretion that it's a typo I was referring to one

its better they take cover some of these men of the underworld are ex military men who may have lost their jobs.

onedayatime:


He easy? If he easy, why not go join army and try it out yourself. Don't try it out on keyboard, try it in real life and come and tell us if you make it out alive

I know you can't get my point because all you're use to is seeing one soldier beat 50 people that queue to buy fuel because they don't line up accordingly not one soldier stopping 5 arm robbers note the arm robbers are not even tagged notorious they're just ordinary arm robbers

charixel:
Una try

You expect him alone, I'm sure without weapon to face those robbers

Haba! Safety 1st.

there were 2 films and both had rifles

DryMouth:

Nigerian soldiers are not trained anything.
They are like Nigerian police.

Maybe u should go and train them, we gonna appreciate u

❌❌Under Buhari, our soldiers are
only trained on how to dance like
Python, deal with "bloody civilians"
and kill Ndigbo ....☠️☠️☠️

Nigeria isn't worth dying for.

Pelumar:
lol u should use your discretion that it's a typo I was referring to one

Okay then, the use of soldiers was justifying your point that is why I asked. A single soldier does not suffice in this scenario. This soldier must have been caught up in all of this and should not be blamed. The police responsible for guarding the bank should take responsibility

K...maybe

QuotaSystem:


I’m not sure but that could amount to desertion which is a punishable crime in the army.

VaselineCrew:


Bottom line is that we need to do better, but when will that ever happen?

Our police don’t do drills. Even private companies do fire drills that they take seriously, yet our police don’t do any response drills. no drills to cut response times, No drills on how to blockade a part of town should the need arise. There are only so many roads people can use and with the right emergency blockade, you can effectively cordon off an area.

Anyways one can only keep on hoping for a better force, and a better country.

Word. Cheers.

so u expected 2 soldier to fight over 20 men with assorted riffle abi.


in security training you have to safe yourself first before anything bro, u can't face them with that 1980 riffle in ur hand.

God bless the soldier abundantly

Many are just insulting the soldiers as if they re the ones guiding those banks, what happened to those Mopol that are being paid to secure the bank, Police didn't send reinforcement to take over the situation, it's soldiers that re not mean to safe the bank u re all seeing.. is that the work of the soldiers or the police to secure that area?? Or u want those soldiers to start shooting when it's not their place of assignment and were not known to their commander. The gun they re holding is only to safe themselves in that situation cox they re not drafted there for robbery attack as they re just on their own there. Many people will be saying all sort of nonsense when they don't knw the rules and law guiding those military guys. All what they want to see is that so far u put on soldier uniform u should start dramatize.

Maxymilliano:
You can't really fault the poorly kitted soldiers, life has no duplicate they say.

When they face civilian they are well kitted .

Revolution2022:
Those banks all have up to 4 mopol Manning each bank,Where were they during the robbery?The police IG charge the bank #50k for 2weeks for each mopol to guard the bank.For them to engage robbers they were nowhere to be found.
Na yahoo boys and innocent people their shoulders dey raise.

I knew long ago that police and army escort service is a big joke,they should just employ rag tag boys to be doing the job..

You can't fight a more forceful army. All they needed was a formidable backup. I am sure they got intelligence report.

To steal and escape from Uromi town is not very easy. I have severally been there for official duties.

Steve0979:
Honestly d way some of una dey comment eehn primary school get sense pass some of una.How can 1 soja fight 30 persons with perhaps more superior weapon to him?how mtchww all of una no get sense

honestly nairaland has has expose how many Nigerian youths reason. They expect him to go out putting his life at risk shooting at people that are more in number and have more weapons than him. He is wise soldier and his superiors will be proud of him.

Your post has no meaning

Useless spineless fulanis soldiers. Only good at burning house and fighting armless citizens

This country sef... 5 banks robbed simultaneously? No intelligence gathering amongst our security apparatus to even curtail two or theee of the banks from this attacks ..
Oh I forgot , most are in a abba kyari mode , hustling for their daily bread from the people

Newsmic:

Nigerian soldiers were seen hiding as gunmen rob five banks simultaneously in Uromi, Edo State on February 24, 2022, IGBERETV reports.

The robbers were also spotted carting away bags of money after robbing the banks.

https://igberetvnews.com/1415417/uromi-bank-robbery-soldiers-hide-robbers-cart-away-money-photos-video/

there's no point in fighting a war u can never win, fighting them can even even make them spray innocent people ,letting a criminal escape is better than killing innocent peop, two soldiers against armed robbers robbing 5 banks...... These robbers are ready for anything , seems many people have never witness robbery before,

[quote author=Lipscomb post=110529075]Initially not the responsibility of a soldier to face armed robbers. They are not trained for that the useless police officers that posted to the banks where are there. [/quote.see your lame excuse.They are trained to confront unharmed citizen abi.

Esthered:

The shock I got when I learnt how heavily these banks are charged by the police in Edo state compared to Lagos. The banks don't get VFM as no Mopol could challenge them on even 1 bank but they police will be credited by those banks this month.

Those banks would be too daft to pay them,they are useless to them and should be sacked asap ...

BluntTheApostle:
So, what should the soldier have done?

Soldiers are human beings, trained to fight.

When we say fight, we don't mean street fighting, but tactical fighting. Controlled fighting.

OK, I spot a rifle.

Still, you can't expect one soldier to go and confront many armed robbers? That would be suicidal. Perhaps, you watch too many American action films. But films are different from reality.

I tell you, Nigerians are so funny. They want 1 soldier to start shooting with how many magz, compared to what those guys had. He should form Jack Bauer ...... lolzzz

They could have foil the robbery attack, cos if the robbers see soldiers, they will be rattled, thinking there is more coming or around

YinkaOlusesi16:
The man has family too, and nobody wan die for buhari again.

but he won't remember he has family when he sees armless civilians

Dedemworld:


Maybe u should go and train them, we gonna appreciate u

Them see thief dey hide.

Since they were not much, why didn't they call for backup?

YinkaOlusesi16:
The man has family too, and nobody wan die for buhari again.

But when they see civilians that’s where they will know how to flaunts their muscles
