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.

Has your own relative been kidnapped before? And how did you know the boy executed is a kidnapper? The police is innocent to you but someone who picked a waybill without proper investigation even after order from above was to bring him to the station was disobeyed. I guess from my observation you are from the north. Let your officers stay in the north and let southern officers stay in the south. I guess you haven't watched the video trending on X how the military bundled them and dealt with them before taking them to Abuja? Thank God you are not the authority so many innocent lives would have been wasted in your hands.

You are the only one talking sense here. The rest are just moving with sentiments and emotions. You’ve simplified the whole matter.

If it were "repentant" Boko Haram boys being released today, these same people would be shouting and questioning why terrorists are back on the streets. But when it’s the South, suddenly they start looking at "height, weight, and face."

Let’s stop the double standards. If we support "shoot on sight" for criminals in the North, let it be the same in the South. If we want proper investigation for Southerners, let’s do the same for Northerners. You can't have it both ways. If the young man was truly innocent, may his soul find peace.

Who knows? Maybe the officer is even a Nairalander who follows these threads. After you people have pushed the police to start "killing them all," you now turn around to cry foul when it happens.

Nigerians are simply unpleasable.

Which law is stated in the federal republic of Nigeria Constitution that a policeman as the right to end a life simply because of finding a packed and sealed gun in a waybill? And what about those who work in the movie industry and also carry fake guns from location to location and that impatient beast will murder an innocent person? You are talking about extra judicial killing in the North, please how many extra Judicial killings have been posted online or because you are a Northerner and the military kpai bandit so you assume the South as to be same as you? By your assertion if a delivery bike guy was carrying a package and police stops him and find such they should execute him instantly even though we know the kind of work they do? That's why I believe we need a separate country from you guys cos our thoughts are so different?

It’s funny to think I’m actually a Northerner, but I’m glad my thinking isn’t limited by my geopolitical location. When the military flattens bandits in the North, we all clap, right? And some even pray they are killed on sight so they aren’t freed back into the society.

If this same "Okada man" was caught in Jos with a gun on him, would you be here shouting for "due process"? Or would your hatred have you screaming for him to be executed on the spot? Be honest with yourself. I’m not against due process but now question is, why do Nigerians feel it should only be for southerners?

And about this "fake gun" excuse—abeg, please 🙄. Since when did that become a valid defense in a high-tension situation?

The real problem isn't the number of extrajudicial killings. The problem is your selective outrage. Why do you advocate for "crush them" in the North, but cry "human rights" when that same measure is applied in the South?

If you want justice, keep that same energy for everywhere. No be when e reach your side you go remember Law and Order.

E be like you smoke kolos? Who dey follow you talk selective outrage? Na you dey talk am na you still dey write am? We are talking about extra judicial killing you are telling me what's happening in the North.. Oga carry your northern talk comot my front..

Nairaland is becoming too toxic for sane minds.

Imagine this Op and his other goon spewing trash even a six years old won't dare.

Na wa o.

Lmao 🤣 this same energy, I’m hoping to see it when the next set of boko haram boys are caught. Tribalistic Nigerians. If your brother is found with gun, he should be shot. Except you’ve never supported ‘shoot on site’ up North. Go mourn your dead.

It is you people up North that involve in all the insecurities happening in Nigeria, imagine a policeman dressing like a tout and he's not in his official uniform but here you are supporting him but a street boy looking for his daily bread is the one that deserves to die. If Nuru or whatever his name is executed you can follow him to jail or stand on his behalf to be executed sara or better still follow him to the afterlife.

Read and comprehend🤦‍♂️ no one said the killing was right. That was why we had endsars protest that led to many death. The big question is ‘have you supported shoot on site against anybody?’ Yes or No!

If you have, why are you shouting ‘due process’ now?

If you haven’t, then the post is not for you. The same measure should be followed everywhere whether north or south. That’s why I dislike sharia laws.

richmond500:
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.

So how come they killed him just when he was about to spill names when it could have led to arresting more people, probably his sponsors. Just dey whine yourself

Wil the treat bandit nd terrorist as well

A delivery bike may be working for a registered company. Which registered company was the guy working for? I understand the stand of those calling for equity here.

SpencerForbes:
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.

But in this case what is the right way to go bout it?

Haynnie:
But in this case what is the right way to go bout it?

Definitely no! I will never advocate for the killing of anyone. I’ve been on this forum long enough to see how some of us used to shout 'shoot on sight,' but after some sober reflections, I’ve realized how dangerous that is for innocent citizens.

My point is simple: Due process and a fair hearing must come for every suspected gunmen before any execution.
Go to any thread about Jos or banditry and you’ll see people clamouring for soldiers to finish everyone off without trial. But now that the 'uniformed men' have touched one of our own, we are shouting for justice. Isn't that the height of double standards?

We need to have a single voice. If we only demand justice when it affects our 'tribe' or 'people,' then we have no system. Let’s condemn it across the board so we can actually build a country that works for everyone.

SpencerForbes:
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.

Na why some of una no fit work under a controlled system cus barbaric thinking, emotional reasoning and ptsd Dey affect una. With every crime comes a penalty but then again in this case you think killing someone who was apprehending for smuggling ammunition is death when it proper investigation has not been carried out to catch the main culprit of this ammunition business? As them kill the boy and is all over the internet how the same police wan take continue the investigation when the key suspect that will lead them to a bigger shot has been taken out?

Sometimes make una leave sentiment and think logically. The same thing that happened to those Ala boys that were served jungle justice without proper investigation. As them hear say them be “thief” na community people beat them, and burn them.

So, suddenly you want "investigation" now? 🙄

I didn’t see your moniker on those threads where teenage Boko Haram suspects were being rounded up. You didn't demand investigation then; you didn’t condemn the direct air strikes or the "shoot on sight" orders. But now that it has touched someone you consider "innocent," you’ve found your voice to talk about due process.

You see why I say the citizens are the main problem of this country? Go to any thread about bandits and count how many people mentioned "investigation," then come back here and look at the difference.

If you can't see the blatant double standards in your logic, then you are clearly blinded by tribalism. Keep that same energy across the board!

So you pretend not to see the rehabilitated terrorist sent back into the society as they are called repentant ba?? Extra judicious killing by the police happened and you are comparing it with terroist who kills innocent people to have fair hearing??

Fine, a working system would not place both situations on same level.

Bluna:
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.

pls try and know d difference between a terrorist, a kidnapper and a thief.

Oga I don't frequent this space as much and I have commented elsewhere about a particular concern on this insurgency issue. Those teenage bk boys can be tried if the system is serious about following up cases. With what you said bout “shoot on sight or airstrike “ those are orders, Nigerians only plea was a call to “action” which was taken because of many innocent lives lost to those terrorist.

In this particular case I never said the boy was innocent. The video showed that the boy was apprehended and was supposed to be taken to the station for questioning and further investigation instead of being murdered in cold blood when there was no show of resistance or attack on the uniformed men.

If this is not enough for you to think somebody was either set up or the boy was a decoy I'm sorry you are the one blinded by irrational sentiments.

That policeman didn't just 'kill' a worker; he simply executed our collective wishes. We’ve been shouting 'kill the terrorists' for years. This young man wasn't just a random okada rider; he was transporting weapons. He is a logistics element, and in any insurgency, those guys are just as dangerous as the ones pulling the trigger.

But because we love 'shoot on sight' so much, the policeman did exactly that. If we weren’t so shortsighted and had insisted on fair hearing for everyone from the start, we wouldn’t be here trying to do damage control today. We used to bash the Army for arresting terrorists instead of killing them on the spot—now the chickens have come home to roost.

Chasing one officer isn't the solution. The solution is a system of due process that protects everyone. Otherwise, we’ll keep quiet when it happens to a Kogite, but start a protest when it happens to a Southerner.

Let’s drop the sentiments. Anyone caught with unauthorized weapons is either a gunman or an accomplice. Period. When the government tried to rehabilitate terrorists, did you support it? No, you were angry. But now a Southerner is caught with weapons and suddenly he’s the only one who deserves human rights?

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Let’s keep the same energy for everyone.

Oh please! 🙄 It’s funny how you’ve suddenly remembered words like 'decoy' and 'setup.' If this had happened in Kogi or the North, I bet you wouldn’t be using those fancy terminologies. You’d be the first to shout 'kill them all!'

If you don’t frequent this forum often, then you clearly don't understand my point. My message is directed at the hypocrites who demand 'shoot on sight' for others but start crying 'Human Rights' the moment a Southerner is involved.

I don’t see why you’re being so defensive unless you’re one of them and you’re just trying to cover up your bias now. If the cap fits, wear it comfortably. We either have a system that works for everyone, or we admit we are just tribalists hiding behind 'justice' whenever it suits us.

The fact that you still haven't understood the story is just showing that you are of herd mentality of the way justice should be served because a particular region were not pitied for their crime that demanded same fair hearing in the judicial system.

This is a case for the police and their job is to maintain law and order of the state. They have already catch a suspect involved in arms dealing, he is a link to apprehend the rest and punish them according to the law even if it involves killing. Now the police killed the suspect and the others involved in this business would successfully get away with it and find other means to continue their business and the killing of innocent citizens will continue.

Oga I don't even use those words you are accusing me of using. I don't know you? You don't know me, is not so smart to assuming I'm like the barbaric Nigerians riled by emotions with out reasonable concern for life.

You guys will be fine.

angelboy01:
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.

This is the real issue my brother. To start with,the law of the land says adequate information should be gathered from the offender before we can determine he is guilty or not.The boy has been arrested and handscuf,not trying to escape but pleading to explain and possibly expose the secret behind the exhibit he was caught with and suddenly the unexpected happened,he was shot dead! It implies a lot.Why must he be shot dead after all,he wasn't trying to escape.l guess there is more to it and a lot of possibilities.

cr7lomo:
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 ...

This is where the police missed it,a thorough investigation should have been made soon as the boy was arrested and handscuf.This would have exposed a lot of information and particular the source through which gun and ammunition are being peddling, peradventure the was an errand boy but the officers out of impatient or any ulterior motives silent him suddenly thus killed the true position of the matter.

Pious101:
pls try and know d difference between a terrorist, a kidnapper and a thief.

If you don't understand my comment, that's your problem. They all use guns to operate, don't they?

angelboy01:
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 only you knew the damage that those evil people inflict on society. A gun runner is more evil than you can imagine

The police might be wrong but let us face the truth. Gun runners are not ignorant of the evils they create in the society.

When this guy gives guns to those that will rape and murder your sister maybe all these grammar you are blowing now will still come out.

Bro..,I’m a staunch believer of meting out jungle justice…the level of crime in this country is too much…people have to know there’s consequences for their actions…me for one don’t have faith in the Nigerian justice system…from the average policeman to the highest judge
