COMRADES, I think the officer is a gallant police officer, I think this is how police are trained to be gallant
By the way, this is a stale news, I don read am for another platform since, why Nairaland too dey like to feed us with stale news on this forum? A member will upload a current or live news story but unfortunately due to their inexperience and bias they will ignore it on the section

What a great fall

I am not angry

Very soon

The owner of that gutter will be arrested
Why did he put gutter where a police man run? Why is the gutter not closed
Why is it so deep?

Mega drainage
Thank God for life
Police nah our frnds

The sad reality is that the idiot will still chase another motorcyclist immediately he gets out of the gutter

Maybe that’s where God wants him to be…

They should have left him for the night. These guys out of their greed had led to the untimely death of many from such reckless chases.
