When you're in some situation you just have to concealed your identity.. Abraham did it to escape by telling the king that Sarah was his sister..

Onyenna:
I guess he identified himself as a soldier thinking maybe they were Sars or something....

May his soul rest in peace, Amen...

Na the problem be that

How can SARS BBC dressing like criminals
Now when you see criminal you won't know if they're SARS or real criminal

Can u imagine
This country is gone
Hoodlums, bandits are now forming roadblock in places where it suppose to be check point
Places where our security agency suppose to be stationed
I'm telling u
This country is gone
Gone for good

Waiting for more information

EzzyCarter:
Hoodlums stopped your vehicle. Luckily for you, you were in mufti but you still ended up identifying yourself as a soldier? If that part of the news is true then I dont know what to say

most likely police stopped his bus but they’re using “hoodlums” to cover up

na over confidence kill this one oh..RIP

I'm still expecting more from this story.

Sad. The soldier made a grave mistake revealing his identity to the hoodlums. Uniformed and combatant men are usually the first target of armed robbers, bandits, terrorists etc, during operations. Rip man.

Maybe he thought that mere hearing of the word soldier will get the hoodlums shivering to their bones

R.I.P to the dead

Ladycewhy:
Too much blabbing landed this one in the grave.

Pls shut up

RIP

Have you observed how some sars members dress?.... That soldier might have mistaken them for Sars....

MorningStar233:

Pls shut up

make me , I guess he thought it was one of those times he can intimidate bloody civilians.

I'm wondering why he had to do the introduction.

He did not realize how dangerous Naija has grown. Gone are the days, his identification as a soldier would have given them the pass to bow.

Hard luck!

Vade1:
Na Ignorance kill this one, do you expect them to run because you're a soldier or what. May his soul rest in peace.

Don't always believe the narratives you read online, they are mostly false.

SARS was founded (by several police officers, including one who went on to become IG of police later on) to stop a criminal called Shina Rambo in the early 1990's.

Shina Rambo was terrorizing Lagos and other parts of the SW in those days, and somehow was managing to evade the Police. SARS was founded initally to stop him.

And they were successful. Because...they looked like criminals...and as a result...Shina Rambo suddenly found himself arriving in an area for operation, assured that there were no police, only to see several armed thugs shooting at him from all directions, and he had no idea who they were or where they were comming from.

In the end, Shina was forced to flee to Benin republic, where he was caught, extradited to Nigeria, and jailed for his criminal offences.

SARS orginally was a Lagos Police thing, but its success in Lagos ensured it spread across the country.

It works, but it also has been abused too.

Sars are not usually posted on the highways. As a trained soldier, u only reveal ur identity when you are sure of who you are dealing with.

Na waya o! Nothing is safe in 9ja anymore. It's absolute chaos. Na God na him dey cover us like mother Hen sha!

No soldier will make suck mistake, the story is not completely true.

Mayb he thought they are police men, soldiers or Civil Defence in mufti.

Ladycewhy:
make me , I guess he thought it was one of those times he can intimidate bloody civilians.

most times, these criminals use full uniforms of arm forces to perpetrate crimes. I am sure that is what happened, in such cases, it is not uncommon of uniform personnel to interact with colleagues and avoid delays on the highway.

And he identified himself as a soldier, it's well.

That rank on his uniform is a Staff seargeant rank...
His ID card is expired that's why it still contains sargeant.
RIP to him, next time don't travel with your ID, and always resist the urge to shalaye.

uniformed personnel likely police or Sars aslo viewed by soldiers as bloody civilians. . Anyway,it was an unfortunate circumstance,may our mouth not lead us to our grave,amen!.
