This is painful and quite unfortunate.
My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family at this difficult period.

Baldg:
The question is does driving against traffic warrant the application of live bullets?

This particular happened close to my residence in Ibadan, the Police authority has changed the narrative

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless, with this defence mechanism, would the culprit be brought to book?

Which book?
With the convoluted explanation and the paraphrase, the book don full.

We all caused this

If good leaders were voted, many forces would be restructured


We all caused this

They've confirmed their useless parables to exonerate themselves from any wrong doings. I just wonder how these people sleep at night . Rest in peace to the deceased

I regret being in Nigeria

Very poorly scripted response from the police.

I never expected anything less. What is the name of the trigger happy officer.

I smell they're trying to sweep it under the carpet like they always do.

These officers need to be taught a lesson, it's becoming too much for them.

UniversalDove:
I regret being in Nigeria

every reason human being does.

Most times I wonder the mental status of those from other countries who choose to be a citizen of a country like Nigeria through naturalization.

Read this shit on Twitter early this morning. So it's true

and lasma, na agbero full am, and you gave them power to dey chase offenders..

My tired is tired abeg, don't even know what to say.

Na lie !!! A father taking his kids to school driving recklessly and taking one way . Trying to ram police officers ? Abeg find another lie lie !

I was wrong
That father needs to be jailed for endangering and criminal negligence that led to the death of his son . He is a useless man.

The mother will be like eating the husband raw! Your son is in the back sit, and you are playing dangerous game with police officer and co. Anyway, most important thing is for the departed Soul to rest in peace

It’s time to ban police carrying weapons!

How did an aim for the tyre end up killing a seated passenger? The father claimed (TVC news) that he was asked to turn his car around to have access to the vulcanisers machine. He needed to work on his tyre. Still, he could have been more careful. Running away shouldn't have been an option.
Very sad indeed.

I hope proper investigation is carried out

The story is just smelling lies lies

Enforcing traffic management with Lethal weapon ? This country ehn

We may never get answers to this questions and I am sad this is not the best time to be born in Nigeria! I am here already but it behove of me to continue to prevent this kind of incident but am I gonna do that armlessly, no I don't! So we are almost helpless!

I guess the father was driving against traffic cos he was late taking the child to school for WAEC Exam paper which he did not want the boy to miss...

excuse
So, the officer cannot aim at the tyre...so unprofessional

....all these explanation is baseless and uncalled for.

A life of a young promising teenager is lost due to security personnel ineptitude and over zealousness and that is what is paramount.

Must you as a police officer shoot at any slightest provocation

#Justiceforkehinde

The police lying again

The Nigerian Police will not stop to amaze us with their unprofessional conduct every time. What kind of training are they giving their personnel such that human life is nothing to them? Why do some of their officers act as if they don't have brain at all? Do they even think of the consequences of their actions or inactions? You wasted a precious soul and now releasing rubbish statement to justify your actions. When people label them as the worse Police force in the world, its nothing but the truth judging by the senseless act of some of their officers.

why shot instead of chase the traffic offender

God bless you for this simple question

Parydelegate:
I don't trust this police story
