Onyenna:
Those might not be real soldiers.....

NaMe4:
That the attackers may have worn Camos doesn't prove they were actual Nigerian military personnel.
They may be members of the kidnapping cartel who set up a 'check-point' in order to rescue their apprehended leader.

There are so many crimes being committed by criminals disguised as military personnel.

SendAbroad:
You are very correct... obviously the last mile security and rescue team for the kidnap kingpin...gang members dressed up as Soldiers..

Let's analyze...Kidnap kingpin pre-arrest security arrangements with next door neighbor or next house.. or Aboki shining shoe or selling chewing gum and biscuits near the house.... anytime police come to arrest, send message to last mile security and rescue team to mount guard and check all vehicles.

Probable pre-arrest briefing of King pin to Last mile security gang members dressed as Soldiers... if you see kingpin in any vehicle with handcuffs, just open fire.

nasirujj:
There is more to it, maybe the police try to claim jasebond, Nigerian police don't have manners

dalass:
Soldiers are definitely part of the Alhaji kidnap gang. No wonder the kidnapping is rampant and so effective! 100 million naira! Quite lucrative, something to kill for

payosehtor:
very correct.
I advised that any body seen around that wukari/ Ibi axis in military uniform should by investigated, cuz the Jukuns militias are always seen in comos.

oyepaulkay:
This is not a sane country.

SARS go about breaking laws anyhow pulling triggers on unarmed civilians, do you know what these people sometimes look like bandits in dressing etc. Even if there's going to be a covert operation, there should be a briefing with security operatives either within the state or checkpoints there should be a means of identification, there should be a signal....moreover you don't runover or speed at army checkpoints no matter what...... This is a total lack of strategy both on the NPF side and the NA side. If I was the president, some offices would be vacant by now or immediate transfers. Do we need to start training our forces again or what?

So sorry to say, whoever coordinated the operation will have a lot to tell Nigerians and the families of the personnel that took hits.

If you've had any encounter with either SARS or IGP X squad before you'll know ethics and rules of engagements are constantly being violated.

TheSilicon:
. Jasebon As in James Bond or wetin

This county is gone, believe me. See even the one that was alive, and the person videoing it trying to convince them they are working with i.g, see how he was being dragged on the floor. I regretted watching this video early morning. Even if they were kidnappers as claimed, why would the solders remove the handcuffs and let the suspect escape? shouldn't it be that he needed to be kept and be a witness for them?
What i thought happened was that the man in questions has lots of informants and networks. All high profile kidnappers likely do this. So when he was hunted down, his boys contacted the military guys at the check point likely being some of their covers and protectors working for them that he was being taken away, then they laid ambush for them and shot them. This was not a mistake at all. They shot at the vehicle and it somersaulted and selectively targeted the police in the vehicle while allowing the suspect to go. It is a clever execution to cover track. I noticed that is very common to arrest kidnappers in the north and not kill them unlike in the south that they kill them any how. They always parade them and less killing for only God knows why. So why is this different?
Serious investigations are needed on this but sadly the deed has been done. I repeat, this country is gone , and sitting on lots of explosives, only time will tell.

elhafeez:
Nigerian Media should say men in Army uniform not soldiers. Untill investigation is completed you can't confirm they were men of the Nigerian Army.

Nukilia:
It is so pathetic that Nigerian is at this stage! Its painful when you see a police officer dressing like a kidnapper on the street and wearing slippers with AK47 in the hands. I do not blame the military... The disrespect for the rule of law cost the police their lives!

executive12:
"jasebond"??
Nigeria's education!!

iHart:
The police killed themselves. Why can't they be on their uniform whenever they go on operation?

Modified:
I think there should be a proper synergy between all forces to avoid this kind of thing from repeating again

bkool7:
This is not a matter of synergy. The soldiers free someone in handcuffs.
Obviously, they came to rescue him

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM,mni has ordered full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of three (3) Police operatives and one (1) Civilian, and serious injury to other Police operatives, who were on investigation activities to Ibi, Taraba State, to arrest one Alhaji Hamisu indicted in a series of high-profile kidnap incidents in the State.

The Police Operatives, led by ASP Felix Adolije of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) reportedly came under sudden attack and serious shooting by soldiers of the Nigerian Army, along Ibi – Jalingo Road, Taraba State. The Operatives, who were taking the arrested suspect, Alhaji Hamisu to the Command Headquarters in Jalingo, were shot at severally by the soldiers despite sufficient proof that they are Police personnel on legitimate duty. Three Policemen (comprising one Inspector and two Sergeants) and one civilian died as a result of gunshot injuries sustained in the attack while others sustained serious gunshot wounds.

The soldiers thereafter released the handcuffed suspect, Alhaji Hamisu, who is now on the run. Alhaji Hamisu, a notorious kidnap kingpin, has been on the Police wanted list for his complicity in several high-profile kidnap cases including the recent abduction of an Oil-Mogul in Taraba State wherein a ransom of about One Hundred Million Naira (N100,000,000) was paid.

The IGP has ordered the AIG Medicals to proceed to Jalingo to ensure concerted efforts in the treatment of the injured Police officers. The remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue. Meanwhile, the Force has commenced a full investigation into the bizarre and unfortunate incident.

benpuzzy:
My take on this is that those shooters are not Nigerian Army. Nigerian Army would have detained all the occupants of that vehicle for further investigation than that selective killing.

Nukilia:
That's the truth! When faced with superior firepower the police diffuses like gas. The mission was a failure from the scratch... When people feel like they could run the country like Banana republic. The police guys should have contacted the state unit and they should have identified themselves. What a fool they were!

salusworth:
Lack of appropriate communication killed them.

festacman:
Nothing justifies the senseless action of these BALLOON HEADS who called themselves soldiers. Why kill the innocent policemen and release a criminal who was clearly in handcuffs? Pure madness! This is just sad, very sad. The soldiers involved should be arrested and charged with WILFUL MURDER immediately. '

misreal:
I just hope this is a lie
