But seriously the level of destruction melted out on the police force of recent is really terrible let's not forget dis peeps are brothers,fathers, uncles,and sons of the common Nigerian man
I took a stroll to onipanu,alade and ilaje bariga today and all I could see was a society devoid of common sense and reasonable judgement wen you destroy the police who then do you expect to tackle dis criminals roaming to and fro in our environment

Next time, the greater Nigeria public should do as in the video above and also protect their private and collective public property from looters.

Well,i think Adamu is right, but they should also remember that the civilian will never lose guard.
if Nigeria police is to defend themselves then the civilian are also ready to protect themselves.
We need to solve and balance this current Mathematics

Homeboiy:
He’s right

Civilians should also do the same
Then again, this whole crisis started because of police brutality.

This is the time to preach peace and avoid more loss of lives on both sides so the IG should think of a proactive way to create a humane structure doe the force.

Shalom

This shouldn't have come from IG,
To defend against who ? Those that police always harassed.
Civilians also to defend themselves, every body needs to get gun by one way or the other, when somebody who carried gun can be defending him!/her self, what will those carry nothing will use to defend?
The IG is encouraging the youths to be wiser.
Nigeria is gradually moving to anarchy. May God almighty safe Nigeria.

I’m afraid this would increase the rates of our already high extrajudicial killings.
Re: IG Tells Police Officers To Protect Themselves Against Physical Attacks by somehow: 5:39pm On Oct 30, 2020
This is normal everywhere, at least in the USA.

That is why their cops shoot first once they sense you are capable of hurting them.

Na police wey dey alive dey bear police.

I didn’t read the epistle but from the topic, it’s more like giving them a LICENSE TO KILL

Policemen also have families therefore they have a right to life.

They have a right defend themselves! undecided
They started it with inhuman treatment of Nigeria citizens. They should repent of their evil ways and peace will reign.

You are an idiot...
Had it been that you channel most of your griviances to the politicians, mostly the senators or governors looting the masses blind I believe Nigeria would have been a better place by now.

Little wonder Desmond Elliot said most of the Nigerian youths are kids.
Re: IG Tells Police Officers To Protect Themselves Against Physical Attacks by ecomalchemist(m): 6:16pm On Oct 30, 2020
They should protect themselves from themselves because they are armed robbers in Uniform.

Stupid set of pot bellied bastards, if casala burst now una no go fit catch fence.

Hmm...very weighty words from the IGP...they have just gotten the go ahead to down anybody when they feel like, and then place a weapon beside him to make it look like self-defence.
I repeat...
Is the police the problem of Nigeria.

They are part of the problem.
I expected the NPF and PSC to constitute an investigative panel of inquiry just same way the various States' are doing on the negative activities of their officers/officials but this is what the IGP is saying.......


Well Las Las na Nigeria....
We got sort our selves our way

Lanretoye:
so i’m not entitled to my opinion or is it you that can’t express your self decently?. just pray you or your loved ones fall victim and u will understand how bad.so policeman will just be standing and people will go and mob him,who is dead brain here?,useless mofowe are in deep trouble in this country,IGP is saying this...so the guns they carry is to protect them,we the masses are just defenseless in this country.no simple sympathy for thousands of innocent people the police has killed.
Normally the riffel they are holding is for their own protection first b4 others.in police training the number one thing they tell the recruits before giving them riffle is to protect themselves first be4 protecting others. It's just unfortunate that most people that join the police at the recruit level are not the good and civilised Nigerian youths cos no good person really love to join the police. When the good people leave the job for the bad ones what do we expect. In my days in the police some of my colleagues used to insult me and called me names just because I always refused to share any money gotten from bribery with them and I wouldn't follow them

I don't support police brutality though.
I also commend the struggle that lead to the scrapping of SARS.

For me most of Nigeria's problem lies in the senate and that of our respective governors. This is where we should channel our anger to and see if the country will not change.

***Remember also that there is a SARS in every avarage Nigerian. The yahoo boys are not exempted. Infact Nigeria is having this basket of problems. We have a very long way to go.

No o, you should have waited till they kill all the police men and razes all their formation down to police HQ. Result of making a man who is not experienced in operations IGP . Person wey na Administrator all in career

So for the IGP to ask police men to protect themselves from unwarranted attacks means he has not spoken well?

We.the Nigeria youths are indeed funny.

Re: IG Tells Police Officers To Protect Themselves Against Physical Attacks by BlackFlamefromP: 7:25pm On Oct 30, 2020
The IGP is 100% right. A policeman like any security personnel, has to protect himself first before he can effectively protect others and maintain law and order in the land.

A police officer must never feel intimidated, insecure or fearful in any circumstance. They need to be courageous in every circumstance and absolutely dominate and overpower criminal elements at all times.

The worst thing that could happen to Nigeria is for policemen to be fearful and demoralized and abandon their job as a result of recent killings of their colleagues and burning down of their stations by criminal elements who are just looking for freedom to operate freely and terrorise the society.

Our gallant police officers must be courageous. They should be super alert and ready to gun down any bastard who tries to assault them in any way. Nigeria can't afford to be a lawless society where people take laws into their hand.

Yes. They need to protect themselves first and feel secure before they can do their job effectively.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.The confidence in the Nigeria Police is at an all time low.Inshort there is zero confidence and trust in the police right now.There needs to be credible move to win/restore the confidence in the Nigeria Police. Reshuffle heads, roll heads,win confidence of some members of the public,get the support of members of the public and gradually sanity will be restored.

when SARS and other policemen were killing, looting, harassing, raping, brutalizing NIGERIAN NIGERIAN NIGERIAN youth on the streets like we are illegal migrants in our own country where we have rights... Why didn't they announce to nigerian youths that youths have rights to protect ourselves?
or does this PROTECT YOURSELF have a different meaning?

it is sad that Nigeria ever got to this ugly level where people harm police men. I pray we all learn.

shey now the table has turned, police is strongly talking of HUMAN RIGHTS.
Are they not humans?
Where were you wen your fellow youth roasted and eat a policeman.

If I were you I will just behave myself henceforth. I pity you if you enter thier trap. The police dont care anymore oh. Thier eyes are RED.
You don find wetin you dey look for
