According to a Facebook user, Mohammed Usman, the soldier shot the attendant after the deceased allegedly threatened him with a cutlass.

"It was reported that the soldier had a spat with the fuel attendant which escalated to a fight with the Fuel Station Manager, that resulted in them exchanging slaps," Usman narrated.

"Angered by the soldier's behavior, the young fuel attendant slapped him and threatened him with his cutlass. The soldier pulled out his gun and shot the fuel attendant, who was rushed to the hospital. Subsequently, were were informed that the Fuel Station had been closed down." he added.

Abdulkareem, an eyewitness, who spoke to Punch , said the soldier was engaged in a scuffle with the fuel station manager which led to both parties slapping each other.

"The soldier and the manager were having a misunderstanding. Though I don’t know who slapped first but they both slapped each other and people started trying to intervene,” Abdulkareem said.

He also said that as a result of the scuffle, one of the station attendants, who was said to be the brother of the manager, brought out a cutlass and stabbed the soldier who in turn shot him.

"As people were trying to settle the misunderstanding, one of the attendants, who is the younger brother of the manager, came to support his brother in the fight by bringing out a cutlass and stabbing the soldier”.

He added that the soldier in turn brought out his gun and shot the boy who was then rushed to the hospital.

Another eyewitness said the boy didn’t stab the soldier but brought out his cutlass to threaten him before the soldier pulled out his gun and shot the boy.

He added that the boy did not make it to the hospital as he died before they got to the general hospital.

OP I keep wondering how Nairaland Moderators allowed for your Moniker...so absurd!

RIP to the attendant and soon that officer will meet his Waterloo!

@Seniorwriter

If someone pulled a cutlass on me. I will do same if i was in the soldiers shoes. However, I will shoot to immobilize but not to kill.

Only God knows what could have caused the heated arguement, but notwithstanding he will never know peace, That soldier will die a painful death, the blood of that innocent boy will chase him to his untimely death.

The soldier failed woefully.

If you underwent military training, there are parts of the body you shoot that would not kill the person but causes pain.

That's the difference.

Soldiers are trained to kill.

Why the soldier go shoot to kill?

SWATMan:



Soldiers are trained to kill.

Us or Europe nor get soldiers too?
How many times you don see such ugly thing for there?

The fuel attendants and their managers are currently the gods raining now.They are so rude this days thanks to the artificial fuel scarcity created everyday.

Yesterday while trying to buy fuel at an NNPC station I witnessed two fights and arguments When I got tired of the shouting and fighting from the attendants and customers I just drove off.

I cannot come and kill myself ontop fuel that i know is black market price regardless of the 165 showing in the meter.

Rip

Read out and loud that manual to the Police!
For the soldier to initially start exchanging slaps even though armed with Gun shows he has exercise enough restraints.
The young attendant threaten his life so he shot in self-defense!

Such a silly and useless excuse.

Same soldier can't kill all the bandits and bokoharam that have been threatening and killing them for eons

the soldier, manager and his brother were both wrong here but should the soldier have stood and waited until the Cutlass is used on him? He saw with a threat and he responded to. I'm sure he would never have pulled out his gun if they hadn't brought a cutlass

Okay

He just wasted his life for nothing. You don't pull up a weapon on someone. The soldier did the right thing . Even if you carry am go court, na self defence they go call am.

What is the difference between that machete-wielding attendant and your regular bandit?!
Oh! He is wielding a candy not carrying RPG?

That's why anger management can't be over emphasized..

What anger can not cause doesn't exist.

A little patience could have saved the both of them. Now, the fuel attendant has lost his life. The soldier will be probably dismissed and sentenced to jail.

A lose-lose situation from both ends.

Really?

Trained to kill civilians?

Wow..
