I just want us to learn from the advanced world where the police are organised to protect all and not for the vips to hijack the police to take care of themselves and their families.

Jarus:
Which Police? After almost all Policemen in the town were killed and those lucky not to be in station at the time still hiding? These are community people carrying the corpses.

These wicked people behind this dastardly act will not find rest.

I am so sickened by the manner these innocent victim's body are stacked up against each other. Couldn't the police or whoever was in charge of removing the bodies to the mortuary have the decency to show some respect to these unfortunate victims of this carnage.

How would they feel if there loved ones were stacked up against other dead bodies like bags of rice in a pick-up truck? They could have called ambulatory services to remove the bodies in a decent manner.

This country has ways to go to learn how to show decency and respect for fellow humans.

Similar robbery incidence happened while i was serving in Ikirun, Osun state

It was God that saved us that day because it was on a friday and them just pay alawee so corp member dey plenty for bank ATM.

As God will have it, I didn't branch the bank that day but the sound of gunshot I was hearing at the family house was heavier than Ikeja bomb blast. They were just shooting sporadically nd killed lots of innocent people
The robbers were more than 20 and between the ages of 20-34.

As if that was not enough another robbery took place that same evening.

Up till date, some bank did not return to Ikirun

I'm extremely disappointed with the young officers in our armed forces.

WTF are they waiting for?

imam07:
It was a good idea that naval officers refused to come there. If not there will me more casualties. If naval attempt to resist this guys,they mite kill over 200 people. Naval deliberately refused to come to avoid more casualties. That is what I guess because I don't believe this is an ordinary robbery. This is a case of terrorism.

A huge chunk of the police that should protect us have been deployed to protect VIPs(politicians, business men and top civil servants). So who will protect the rest of us?

Abeg what really happened? Did they attack the police station first?
HRM Olofa has to do all within his might. Whether traditional or whichever. His subjects are the victims. He is the closest to them.

Our politicians are only there for their pockets. Our law enforcement people are not motivated enough to risk life and limb to protect the public.

Jarus:
Police Station was first attacked. All policemen on duty plus those that came to report other issues at the station were killed.
