This leaves little to wonder why the level of insecurity has escalated to a phenomenal proportion in this sub-country where lunatics are more gallant than train security personnel.

Please Igwe Trump we need your services asap.

This news does not add up,what then happened to the assassin,because it's a clear case of assassination. The military must investigate this very well and how about his colleagues.

Hope it isn't a case of natural justice? Overpowers the soldier, snatches the gun, removes the safety lock, and boom. I am amazed. embarassed

Which kind soldier be this?

Must surely be an ex-soldier, to be able to disarm a soldier and knowing how and where to pull the trigger and not missing the target.

Some of them , as a result of hard drugs administered on them while in battle front, becomes mentally unstable upon leaving service.

My opinion though.

If the soldier had killed the mad man while defending himself, you would still call your Igwe to come and deliver the mad people from the Naija soldiers, twisting the event to sweeten the itching ears of your likes.

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.
DHQ should better come, and debunk this news.
How did a mentally unstable man disarm a soldier? Even if the man have legions of demons in him, what were the soldier's colleagues doing or was he the only personnel in that checkpoint?

How was he able to operate the gun and pull the trigger just like that?
I thought there is a way that Soldiers could ''lock'' the gun until it is unlocked or released and fired?
May the soul of the soldier rest in peace.
