Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by Newsgeek24(op): 7:41am On Nov 18, 2025
A tragic and alarming incident occurred on Monday at a military checkpoint in Lagos State, where a mentally unstable man allegedly killed a soldier after seizing his rifle and opening fire.

The shocking event unfolded in the Agbowa community along the Ikorodu Expressway.

Witnesses reported that the attacker approached the checkpoint without warning, overpowered the soldier on duty, took his weapon, and fired, resulting in the soldier’s death.

“An insane man snatched a military man’s rifle and shot him dead at a check point. It happened at Adeogun bridge in Agbowa,” a police source told SaharaReporters.

Calls put across to the Lagos State command spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi were not picked nor returned.

This is sad, many are mad roaming the streets. Remember the golden rule, "if anyone tries to kill you, make sure you kill the person first"

ImoleNaija:

The man is definitely not mad. How does he know how to use a gun ? Why didn't he shoot other people or any other object ?
Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by bidisfatfarm: 8:11am On Nov 18, 2025
How can this happen ? Usually every security personnel has his/her gun on safety and that is standard procedure. Unless this is a planned attack and the supposed insane man knows how to use a rifle. An assassin if you like.

A military man won't allow a random person get close to his gun, much more, disarming him unless the supposed mad man is well trained to do so.
