This News sounds some how weird
Soldier will always put gun in safety
Or else you're in war front
So mad man can't just shot a riffle that's in safety
God understand the situation
RIP to the fallen soldier

First, the safety of the riffle of any military personnel on duty, is always locked!

Second, the "mentally unstable man", could not have handled the riffle well enough to open fire and hit the soldier, without prior training on marksmanship.

Third, which kind soldier be this one, wey loose-guard like this!?!?

My thought: the rifle of a military man is always on safety until engaged.

How did the mad man disengage the safety...does he have knowledge in weaponry?

Or was it the soilder man that engaged the gun and was overpowered by the mad man?

Really?why a mentally unstable mad man snatched a gun from a gallant soldier and be kill?

Quick investigation need as i waited for clear reports.

There is no reasonable soldier that will be so unmindful of himself and surrounding to warrant this. Soldiers with weapon are always at alert.

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 ?
Even mad people knows about Repentant Biko Haram

This story is not adding up...if you captured the soldier with your camera, where did the mad man run tohuh

Is the mad man a force man to be able to know how to remove the gun in safety mode, know where to cock , and position himself to shoothuh Not that possible!!!!!

Did he run with the gun or whathuh

At least he should have started shooting everywhere before laughing and dropping the gun to run away....

Insecurity in South West is always covered with unrelated news and propaganda...

This story is not clear and incomplete.

Military guys prefer to die than you collecting riffle from them. Untrained person collected gun from a military man......how come?
Don't also forget that every rifle has "safety" and "rapid",....how come mentally unstable man knows how to fire rapidly? I surely know 100% that the military man would have locked the rifle to "safety" since it's checkpoint.

The mata no clear at all. Gaskiya I no understand....

Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by tivity101: 10:51am On Nov 18, 2025
The question here is, was the soldier alone at the checkpoint and if he is not what was the reaction from the rest of them there?

Keep your hands clean to avoid unfortunate incidents like this, some people are too wicked to the extent that their guardian angels depart from them when danger comes.


People wey dem dey pray for never beta na come you wey dem dey swear for everyday?
