The guy who wanted to leave... His actions were not the best...
But, all happened in the presence of the policeman.

And that was no reason why he should be assaulted. And definitely no reason why I should have been a few seconds away from death...

The policemen know we don't do anything when they kill us, they actually said so that night.
This line of reasoning is the reason we are suffering this.

repogirl:
Arrest for what exactly? For preventing himself from being shot unnecessarily? If the OP was being unruly or uncooperative, why not arrest him there and then?

Or are you saying the police man was right to point his weapon at an unarmed man?

It's people like you who give those animals called police men the confidence to kill people off like chickens.

It's a shame really. The people who should be speaking up against evil are trying to explain it away. I pray it does not happen to him or his own

Pictures would have been nice. this just sounds like fairy tale.

How are we sure that you didnt have the tinted glass permit.?

GreyLaw:


Please, read the story again, this time, a bit more objectively. He scuffled with the police guy only when the said police man removed the safety of the gun and decided to shoot at him.

If he had not done that, he would have been shot, without apologies. And what was his offence? Trying to mediate between a violent police man and an innocent citizen.

I have seen a policeman take aim and blow a guy in the eyes and the guy's eye was bloodshot. What was his offence? His motorcycle was seized and he was begging the the policeman. Irritated at the guy's begging, he took aim and punched him. IN THE EYE.

Going by your logic, the guy shouldn't even dodge the punch or impede the blow. And to the OP's story, why would a policeman grab a non-violent citizen by the throat?!? For heaven's sake, why? Even wrestling has rules!

Worst part, after all these evils, you still have Nigerians trying so hard to explain evil away.

A Nigerian policeman can shoot you without any provocation whatsoever.
One can be as calm as a butterfly and still end up dead in their hands

Joephat:


knowing the system we are currently Bro.

even with all his evidence, if he doesn't av anybody who will back him up, he will only end up wasting his time n money and no justice will be attained.

So, he should save himself the money n time he might waste on the process of this.

At least, we can make noise about it...

We start dying when we keep silent over things that matter.
The voice of a poor man is most times his last hope

legendprac:


Have read your responses and I know you either didn't read my story, or you have issues.
At what point did we start fighting for his gun?

An expected response. Of course it's preferable for you that I give you a pat on the back for your storyline.

Unfortunately for you though, I'm not the average data awoofed Nairalander and I'm able to see through your one sided tale that was thinly veiled to portray you in good light.

There was only one criminal in your story according to Nigerian statute and it wasn't the policemen that were simply doing their sworn duties.

You were lucky this time.

KingAfo:

NEVER NEVER ARGUE WITH A POLICEMAN OR ANYMAN CARRYING A GUN. PLEASE. Slap road safety, Vio, yellow fever but respect policemen with a gun. Abegggggggg

Agreed. And I didn't. Not until he started his assault

legendprac:


It's a shame really. The people who should be speaking up against evil are trying to explain it away. I pray it does not happen to him or his own

But I'm speaking against the evil. The evil that tried to criminally disarm a police officer on duty

highpriest4:
u this pastor's son, u tried that night o. I saw u cruising that toyota sienna. I helped u that night before your father came and settled the matter. U were shouting "Shouting call daddy". What a small world

Hi, thanks. Good thing I have a nairalander who witnessed what happened.
I guess you were one of the people who were trying to hold the other policemen. I dunno really as things happened so fast.

Would be good if you can tell the house what you saw on that day.... Thanks...

Onuokwu:


You need to write an official petition to the state commissioner of Police beyond posting it in social media. Possible put the IG in copy.

That's in the pipeline. However, I know how effective social media buzz can be...

GreyLaw:


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.

Apt.....

greenhulk:


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.

His action wasn't the best, yes. But why not search him again, and if anything, detain him?

That's how it's done in saner climes, right?

And we don't want to create a saner clime for our children yet unborn?

mostyg:
Please never argue with police especially the ones with arms. They are more dangerous than .......

I started driving when I was very much young,but when I turned 18 and got my 1st driver's licence,my father called me, sat me down and admonished me thus.
"My son,whenever a police man stops U and starts harrasing U,gently find a way to de-escalate d situation and get away from them,cos even when they find out that d car doesn't belong to U but ur father,they'll be angry and ask themselves why their own fathers couldn't buy cars so they'll drive".

Have a nice day bro. I see what you are trying to do and I would not fall for it.
Pray it doesn't happen to you or yours. And that if it does, you will live to tell the story

Bros, thank God you were not news that would have been shared on NL. Next time, no matter what, just be laughing and cracking joke with them. At worse, intervene by involving a sane colleague of the policemen at that checkpoint. Those guys hate to be challenged.

I thank God for your life op. NPF and other forces in Nigeria are all like this. they are not our friends and will never be until they change their attitude and start doing their jobs professionally. its not like they are white cops. black cops treating fellow blacks like animals just coz they have badges. say no to #PoliceBrutality towards innocent citizens

God bless your Soul... You said it all

I have been a victim up to 4th time... I Wipe for the defenceless Innocent Citizens who struggle to make a living in spite of the harsh Government Policy..

I know the man.

We spent 5 years together in the university. (AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE (+5 years) TILL I SAW THIS POST 10MINS AGO)

... Trust me, he is NO rascal neither is he a criminal.

We were lodgemates twice.

I'm not your bro and I'll have a nice day regardless of your opinion. I'm cool like that

Oh it won't happen to me or mine because we don't behave like criminals and attempt to disarm police officers that are people performing their sworn duties.

You also will never live to tell your story, IJN

I'm beginning to see a pattern of how and why Nigerians are being off'd like chickens by police.

You admitted online to trying to disarm a leo while on duty?

You're lucky but don't push that luck too far.

PS: if I were the igp, I would arrest before sunset and charge you to court.

... You are indeed a very STUPID CREATURE the police man c.ock his gun at him what were you expecting him to do ... Kneel and wait for execution... the same police man if he was in a peace mission would adhere to the highest ethical value on foreign soil ... I FULLY BLAME THE PRESIDENCY FOR THIS CULTURE OF IMPUNITY

He should refrain from driving around with stupid friends.

His friend's action was very suspicious and disrespectful to the policemen to say the least.
