Honestly I don’t think this has ever happened before. Nigerians love to add names to stupid serious matters like this. How can you say a mentally unstable person got close to a trained soldier that knows that his arm is his life at any moment. Over powered the soldier, removed it from safty, pointed the gun at him and shot him while others where runing or hiding?

There is more to this bikonu umunne

Echi boo anu ozo

I hope he was apprehended. I doubt if he's truly mentally unstable.
That guy is not mental for sure. Because he needs to knowhow to load to fire.

Nigeria will give a citizen gun without proper protective equipments
No bullet proof shirt, knee guard or head gear

And i usually walk close to dem when approaching dem.
One carried a very strong rusty long iron like a warrior heading towards me, i still walk close to him ignoring the approach.

I will start giving dem distance anytime i see dem.

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?
You underestimate a demon? If this story is true as reported, then a demon used the mad man as an instrument to execute a sentence. You don't know what one demon can do. grin

The soldier could easily have shot the mad man.
But then you will say he shot an unarmed mad man and then lynch the soldier.

The man was confused to the point of getting killed

Omo I'm shocked..So a Mentally challenged man overpowered our gallant military officer
wetin sargent no go see for barracks huh

The soldiers are so badly trained that a mentally challenged person can easily disarm them, and you wonder why terrorists alias bandits are having a field day
Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by iOYEN: 12:07pm On Nov 18, 2025
This story gets k-leg.
I believed the gun should be in safety position, meaning if you shoot (pull the trigger) it will not shoot. What I don't get is how a madman overpowers a soldier, unlocks the gun from safe position, and opens fire on him.

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"
If u kill a bandit who tries to kill u in Ur farm in Nigeria. U will rot in hell. This law u quote, doesnt work wen u are killing some ethnic aggressor.

Better...if not...a plea of insanity will exornerate him from a murder charge.

Wonder y they posted half the story though...

So sad, Reason why people with mental health issues should be off the streets, reason why Nigerians should not vote a Man that takes advice from a mad man undecided
Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by Rindo69: 4:36pm On Nov 18, 2025
Was the soldier's rifle cocked and ready to fire? Cos a "mentally unstable man" not only disarmed him, but removed the rifle from safety, cocked it, aim and fired. Highly unlikely...
Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by Chefinnocent(m): 4:55pm On Nov 18, 2025
Since I was born , I have never been shock by a news like this one , one solder can't be on duty they are always 2, so when. You see your college struggling with a mad man what were you doing, what was people around doing, mmmmmmm,

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 ?
We still don't his job before becoming mentally challenged.

Next time you want to post something like this, please give a warning that it’s graphic. It’s really scary to see, and right now it feels like my heart is about to jump out.
Re: Mentally Unstable Man Snatches Soldier's Gun, Kills Him At Lagos Checkpoint by ericmor: 6:23pm On Nov 18, 2025
Mentally unstable man snatched a gun from a soldier in check point and killed him? ok. If I may ask, was the soldier the only uniform person in that checking point? Mentally unstable man was able to operate a gun? Was the mentally unstable man apprehended? All this questions need an answer and then we can really know what really went wrong

What!

What kind of an unstable man could snatch a gun and knew how to pull the trigger, targeted the solder and killed him.

There is more to this o.
Corked and pulled trigger...

Definitely that unstable man.. must be an ex-convict.. roaming the street for free ...
