KingAfo: I swear, I'm not sure who's raising this new crop of Nigerian youths. I normally wouldn't offer my opinion on such a thread because the juvenile delinquents will come out in droves, but it's important for public safety to educate reasonable Nigerians that it's deadly to drag gun from a police officer. 3 Likes |

The Nigerian Police is a terrorist organization abandoned by the Federal Government. It is time for it to be disbanded! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Always remember this, frustration breeds aggression. Those guys are frustrated beings! I use cold treatment on them and that works perfectly. My Chi at work most likely. |

Egunmagaji KingAfo: Imagine. I no read am finish sef. I swear, I'm not sure who's raising this new crop of Nigerian youths. I normally wouldn't offer my opinion on such a thread because the juvenile delinquents will come out in droves, but it's important for public safety to educate reasonable Nigerians that it's deadly to drag gun from a police officer. This is realy a mis-normal dragging a gun with a police officer is wrong he can be termed a robber trying to disarm a police officer on duty. I had once plied that. Route some 3 years back ,I. Was stopped for tinted permit,the officer was happy that he had made a big catch since my car was a lagos Registration number,but when I brought out my tinted permit he took it to other vehicle.Owners parked for fake tinted permit or not having permit and showed them that mine was an authentic permit and allowed me to go without any stress . We need to be careful when stopped by police officers,conduct ourselves with the minimum expected decorum. Stay safe 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji: I get your point. But if we continue in that line of thought, we will succeed in creating a Nigeria where her citizens always cower for their lives in the face of oppression -- Not too bad; I don't dare argue with crazy, armed men. But the reverse side of the coin is that, then, we would have also succeeded in creating police men who unleash terror on the cowering citizenry, and who expect silent submission at all times. Be that as it may, there'd always be Nigerians who'd refuse every form of oppression, no matter who the aggressor is. Couple this with crazy police people and you have the perfect storm! Cure the police, salvage the situation. A policeman should never, for whatever reason, aim his gun at an innocent, non-violent citizen. 4 Likes |

My dad said something to me. If anyone attempts to kill you, kill the person first if you have the time to attack. I have never allowed that escape my mind for once. Anyone who stands in front of me to pull a trigger while my leg is on the throttle, can as well kiss life goodbye that moment cos I'd definitely clear everything in front of me. But in a situation like this, calmness and restraint should be excercised. 1 Like |

you are lucky to be alive 1: Always act the fool when with an agitated and frustrated Policeman. 2: Never reach for his gun.. He will kill you for that 3: Always lie down and beg like your life depends on it. use that time to scout for the vehicle registration number 4: Never look for their Police Registration Numbers sewn to their Uniform.. they always cover it up with reflective vests Remember..

nairaman66: U need to chill. Look I'm not in support of police brutality, I know a lot of cops out there at trigger angry which s no good, but it is very important not to argue with a policeman with a gun, even worse when u try to disarm him. We have heard the op's story, but how are u so sure he was telling the whole truth? Lots of Nigerian youths when they come across a police check point they tend to claim like they know too much. When u have nothing to hide, be calm to policemen they will let u go. I have come across a lot of youths that just scream at officers whenever they are stopped at a check point. Ask them for their papers they will start raising their voices. And why was his friend so eager to leave at a check point... Isn't that causing suspicion? Even if his house is on the next block, he should wait until the police finish their job. Look let's turn the table around... Let's say that dude that requested to leave was an armed robber and asked to leave in the middle of stop and search and the police let him, u will be here online saying the police doesn't know their job and why would they just let him leave like that. The police might not be the best of friends but let them go on strike for just one day then u will realize their importance. I agree there are lots of bad eggs in the force. 2 Likes |

And you wonder why people spend so much to buy high end cars ? These rag tag militia called Policemen have inferiority complex, they are narcissistic. They largely dont stop big cars due to their inherent inferiority complex. Sorry bro, its the country we find ourselves. |

GreyLaw: I'll never ask any Nigerian to cower to civil servants, on the same note I would never give any Nigerian a standing ovation from attempting to disarm a leo while performing his duties. My views on this will never change. We don't have to agree so let's celebrate our differences. |

I have a friend who likes to drive us around whenever I come to Nigeria. One night we were out and came upon a police checkpoint. Do you know what this fool did? He tried to drive off while the officer was still interviewing us. So I pulled the ebrake and the officers ran up all agitated to find me agitated already at him. I was told they were ready to open fire imminently. Moral of the story. Be the change that you seek. Respect begets respect. If yah all treat these police with disdain, try to disarm them, usurp their authority then why won't they become hardened. It's not the job of the citizen on the street to beat down wayward cops. We are a country of law. Write to your legislature to effect change at the top. Replace igp and ensure that one that encourages community policing is hired. Getting into fist fights with armed Leo's is detrimental to the health and not the way to effect reasonable change. 2 Likes |

Go to the state's Commissioner of Police in your state to report this case. In fact I feel sad that the government of Nigeria or the senior police officers, fail to discipline their own when they see them while on official duty drinking all sorts of alcohol while armed. Something must be done on this issue. An officer will be armed and drunk at the same time?An officer will openly tell you that 'he can waste you by shooting you down and Nothing can happen'? It is high time the public come out on this. Thank God op that you are alive today to write your story. Many souls went beyond like this in this country. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji:Don't talk about law here because it's obvious you know none of it. There's a fine line between professionally doing ones duty and insulting or attacking an unarmed person for no reason. I repeat, it's people like you who allow this gross violation of a person's basic rights that have contributed in the system being so rotten. When you or someone close to you becomes the victim, you will wake up. 4 Likes |
