The man was arrested cos he was transporting guns and bullets to unknown people.

Honestly with the build up anger we have from killings and terrorism and govt granting these terrosists pardon after the military captures them.
I think the policeman had had enough from all these menace and decided to take laws into his hands.

Probably I would have done the same but not in public.

This is a textbook example of a double standard. Ironically, the same individuals who demand that the military employ 'shoot-on-sight' orders against terrorists are the very same people advocating for leniency toward this young man. It reveals a profound inconsistency in the Nigerian psyche; public opinion here seems more volatile and unpredictable than the national power grid.

You miss the point. Terrorists are rebranded and recruited into the military. Let the treatment be the same.

How did you know he was transporting guns to whomever, are you the judge and jury to know that? What about people that also help others to carry drugs unknowingly and they are killed for it. Have you thought about it it could even be a set up? See as human being they think?

if you don't know the full news, just shush.
Also from what was heard, he was acting strange

Two wrongs do not, and can never, make a right. If the solution to insurgency is simply to rebrand terrorists as military personnel, one must ask: what would become of the average civilian under such a regime?

Unto say the guy even said he would take them to meet who sent him? Even the guys parents are involved, let's say he was broke and someone offered you to help him pick a package and I will pay you for it. The guy thinking it's just a harmless errand and he did it from his own innocence. Even at that who gave the guy the right to kpain someone in cold blood without even giving him a chance. No worry e go happen to you or your loved one then you go understand life.

Stop twisting my comment. If killing them is right, let the killing not be selective. If rebranding and recruiting them into the military is right, let it not be selective. I am not the one to choose whether criminals should live or die. My point is, let the treatment be the same for all the criminals.

You misinterpret me.

My comment does not decide what should be done to terrorists. I am not the government. My point is that the government should treat all terrorists the same way. If killing is the decision, let it not be selective.

You wey no the full story why you no talk, someone begging for his life is acting strange as how? What you heard from your evil police friend abi? This is how you people place curse on yourself unknowingly.

How many of those supplying arms to terrorists have been summarily executed? How many of the captured terrorists are summarily executed? The bastard criminal deserves to be tried and prosecuted in line with the law. That policeman took laws into his hands, his job was to arrest and present the criminal to the law for judgement and prosecution. Now he will face the law himself and he should pray not to be hanged.

Sometimes jungle justice is not bad

he acted rashly cos he killed him.
If he had arrested the guy, maybe someone would have bailed him and who knows who that bullet would have killed

This man went to deliver a package thru waybill...how can u compare that with people using the weapons .... how do u even reason... how will u feel if u hear that ur brother was killed by policeman in that manner ... he was tied to the floor , told them that he dint know anything about it and that he simply went to deliver a package by a friend...told them he can take them to the person that sent him...and he was just murdered in cold blood ... u think of he knew there was a gun in that package, he would allow the staff at the courier company open it when they requested him to open it b4 tgey accept it ... he innocently opened it and was also shocked when he saw it was a gun ...

But if I post the person wey soldier claim say na Boko Haram, you go say make them kill am sharply, abi? 😏

I’m still learning how we Nigerians think. What is good for the goose is suddenly "never" good for the gander. If na Boko boys, you go talk this one? No.

How you take confirm say those boys wey dem hit with airstrike na all of them be Boko?

I’m not saying anyone should kill, but you can’t demand justice for one and stay silent for the other. If we are killing, we kill all. If we are freeing, we free all.

That’s what Spencerforbes stands for.

Hypocrisy of selective empathy at its finest. 🙄

Why support the "kill them all" approach for Boko Haram, but suddenly become a human rights activist because the person involved isn't an insurgent? If it was a random traveler in the North, you’d be silent.

I don't play that. If my neighbor is killed for a crime, my brother should face the same fate if he commits it. No North or South bias here. If we are killing, we kill all. If you can't be consistent, then your "outrage" is just tribalism in disguise.

Abeg show where in the video the guy confessed to being a killer, bandit, or kidnapper. We know those into kidnapping and all. The way you carry this thing for head sef dey baffle me. Na who even confirm to you say him na killer? I guess you are just a troll. Oga rest

You know those that are into kidnapping…. That makes you a suspect. You and sheik gumi no difference. I think I’ll stop arguing with a kidnapping alibi right here. Just watch your back or dss might be on your shoulder.

No wonder APC supporters dem dey always reason downwards.. you are looking for engagement on your useless thread.

What about those who carry AK47s everywhere,all in the names that they are herdsmen,how many of them have you killed?

The ones Kidnapping that the army said are your brothers,how many of them have you killed?

Leave matter abeg.. What if that guy had the parcel and didn't know the content?

A cultist was interviewed some time ago.. he said if they want to transport arms that they waybill them like it's food stuff. They will give the driver , unknown to him that it's arms and food stuff. Now imagine that driver is searched on the way,and they unalive him. He was just hustling for his waybill fee,not know what was in the bag.

This guy who was killed might have been in same situation. Help me send or collect this thing, before you know wahala happened.

Not justification for killing the guy. He was in in cuffs,so he didn't drag or resist arrest.

Information reaching me now is that he was shot again multiple times at the station.

It's obvious the police was trying cover up something that will implicate them. I am sure the DPO is involved too..

For the deceased to be in possession of illegal weapon, he is probably a terrorist, kidnapper or arm robber. Whether the officer was right or wrong is not my concern here. I just want you people to know that many of the kidnappings we currently experience everyday in the south are carried out by indigenous people, not only fulanis. A terrorist is a terrorist, it doesn't matter whether he came from the south, east, north or west, they all deserve the same treatment. Yes, they all deserve to be shot at sight. This insecurity is too much in the country. There should be no sympathy for the wicked.

You open thread to support and advocate for extra judicial killing

So police is now, judge, jury and executioner?

You lots are full of shite

Many nairalanders are sick, just as many Nigerians are. This animal mindset of ours is the reason we are still where we are. There should be a unanimous condemnation of what that policeman did. Even if he was a confirmed kidnapper or terrorist, the policeman didn't have the authority to kill him. If this is allowed, many innocent people will perish. It is even more dangerous than any form of terrorism you can think of.
Also from the way they were hailing him, it appears that he does that regularly. I leave you to imagine how many innocent people he probably have killed like that.

Aside that, it shows that the policeman doesn't know the first thing about policing. You caught someone with weapons, on his way to deliver to a group and you just choose to kill him.... See yeye wisdom.

The say there are 4 types of people who join the service.

1. Some because of family tradition. A continuation of family legacy

2. Patriots who are eager to serve

3. Ones who join as a means of employment and a way to provide for themselves or family.

And 4. The ones who join for the sole purpose of finding a legal means for killing other people.

That officer wasn't serving the law nor was he genuinely being patriotic in upholding the rule of law. No matter how tense the situation of any nation is. The law is the law. If the highest office is being lenient with amnesty towards an organized terrorist sect, that is the executive arms problem not in their jurisdiction.

Without no single shred of doubt, that officer in question belongs to that number 4 sect of people. You can tell they enjoyed the shooting if you watched that video. And again like I said in an earlier comment. They are probably covering up for their colleagues who are involved in the same operation of gun running.
An Officer's Officer will under any circumstance still uphold the oath of his station, respect that and not take law into his own hands. That action is not justifiable. And goes again, there is no way if properly investigated that gun wouldn't have being traced back to an officer or a group of officers in the Nigeria police. His action reeks of cover up. The guy was not on any wanted list, he was pleading to take them to who sent the package. Why shoot him. He is practically confessing, that alone stands the reason to even make the case public if they have nothing to hide. Shooting him because they are angry that is just absurd. Will that help in apprehending the rest.
A crime is a crime. And that officer committed a cold blooded murder in broad daylight.

Many of you aren't wise at all, did you even check the looks of that officer? He's hairstyle, he even dyed his beards and from whats circulating online that he's the one who runs the main kidnapping in Delta state because he deals in arms, they killed the boy even after instruction from above was to bring him to the station for questioning, Trumps shooter wasn't even tied like a ram or was he shot at immediately even after being caught. A boy was begging with his life on the line and what evidence do you have to say he was into kidnapping, I watched his mom online and they are poor more than a church rat. If the boys into all that I can bet you won't find his mom in a slum. He probably ran an errands as a street boy to feed and the next thing is that he's a killer or he's this. Na why USA know dey give most of una visas be this cos una mindset dey very dark and very evil.

So many has been done that nobody knows about. This one was just on camera

The look of the officer has nothing to do with fighting crime. All criminals beg in the same manner, looking remorseful and shedding crocodile tears does not amount to innocence. You support terrorists to be killed up north, but you want them to be properly investigated in the south. That's hypocricy. If you or any of your relatives have been kidnapped before, you won't have sympathy for anyone caught with illegal weapon.

Criminals break the law and have problem understanding what is meant by the rule of law. For them, they are the law and can do as they like as far as their "conscience" does not convict them. It appears you fall into that category to speak as you do and to go further and say you would rather break the law in secret speaks volumes about you.

Even Judges are not allowed to pass judgment until they have given fair hearing and evaluated all evidence. And even at that, any convict still has the right of appeal. How much more an average human being now trying to play God.

As much as I do not support crime, I understand the rule of law and its importance to a civilized society. If everyone decides to take the law into their hands, what good do you think it would achieve beyond turning the world into a jungle and creating anarchy?
