2016easy2017:
I was at Iwo, Osun state The sterling bank opposite the BOWEN bank. This one police man. An Ekiti, Ondo or Ijedha man was taking people inside the bank through the back door to use the Student ATM, just because of bribe. I approached him for such favour and the next things he said I should fear for my life. That means threatening kill.for what
I didn't argue with him. I just left the place.

This happened on 12/01/23. 8:30 am precisely.

They do the shooting deliberately. I've seen several police man threatening to shoot for no justification

skultrick:


You can also try your luck since you don't know you're in Nigeria and most of these police guys lack professionalism. When they stop you keep moving you hear.

Apart from "professionalism" why would a sane person not stop when flagged down? Will any of you try this nonsense abroad?

sketcherJ:
I don’t this statement helped the defendant. Read it again.

sketcherJ:
baba he is right especially if you are black. If you don’t stop, they will chase you and you are cooling your feet in jail for it after they have roughhandled you. Now if in your process of running, you hit someone, you get more charges, you hit a policeman? Now you better pray to God cos they could come gun blazing,

gommez:
if a US police flaggs u down to stop n u refuse to stop, even if they wont shoot at u but they wil give u a chase and wen they finally get u, you know wat wil happen to you

CheapHomes1:


You haven't answered the questions.

you see the way you have made a fool of yourself? was she the one driving? how is a car not having plates the justification for shooting at occupants in a vehicle?

sketcherJ:
you are d one that is not getting his idea, you are asking this question on the premise that most Nigerian police force understand the law and modalities in doing things. Ok know now, they are wild animals, give them a chance and they will shoot you. So what do you do? Give them a chance? Nope you obey at that time so that you won’t add to the victiims list until something is done about them

FreeStuffsNG:
Could this woman have been killed by someone else?
I hope the ballistic test of the bullet(s) extracted from her has been done.

skultrick:


Oga I know Nigerians are very arrogant, so you can also try disobeying the authorities, nah your body go tell you.

because they felt connected, they refused to stop, now the rest is history.

I don't know why wisdom is very scarce among many Nigerians.

MASTAkiLLAh:
stop talking nonsense oga. You people are terrible

CheapHomes1:

was the deceased the one driving at the time of her death?

how is a car not having plates the justification for shooting at occupants in a vehicle?

ipobarecriminals:
Shut up there. I stay in US. The police here will rather chase u than shot U..Just last weekend, a fellow Naija didn't stopped at traffic light and viola, the cops chased caught up with her and question not Shot her. Why are Abuja own different and how do u knew the driver didn't obey/stop? Hope you'll say this same if the dead lady is ur wife, sis/even ur mother

sketcherJ:


Come on be sensible now. This is common sense

There is no justification and no one is supporting the cop here!

I am telling you that don’t see Nigerian police as disciplined or learned individuals, they could kill you for the most little thing. That’s bad but it should tell you how to protect yourself! If you still don’t get this, then I don’t know for you

CheapHomes1:

taylor88:


Ask una Tinubu naa Shebi na him get Lagos

sketcherJ:
come on stop being too overtly emotional. The death pained us all but we are being realistic here. Or do you want me to lie to you that if you get abroad and the cops stop you and if you don’t wait, they will say ok and let you go? The heck?

Fuckyoumod:
my brother, if you like your life don't even put yourself in that position. Even a disciplined police officer in Nigeria might be forced to shoot.

Excerpt you are carrying exhibit, please just wait for few minutes and drive home safely, wisdom is better than plenty stories.
Even if that officer is killed today, that lawyer is gone forever. No play with your life ooh.. nobody get that leisure or time to chase you up and down for Lagos.

See, this is Nigeria also apply wisdom whenever you are in contact with armed person whether police or not.
Nobody has that time to be chasing you like we have in Hollywood movies.

One shot.... The rest is history!
I blame the driver of that vehicle, he played a part in the murder of that lawyer.

Kai.... I'm not happy at all.

sketcherJ:


Of course it wasn’t the deceased

skultrick:


But let's be frank, this woman may have contributed to her death. How would you disobey authority when flagged down. Moreover, the car had no plate number. Obviously she felt since she's lawyer she can do and undo. This was how a custom officer was killed by a soldier after they declined to stop.


Whoever you're please respect authority to avoid stories that touch.

MASTAkiLLAh:
oga, I said you should stop saying rubbish . Which yeye abroad are you people talking about that people haven't travelled to before and why will police just want to stop a vehicle with a family in that abroad ? Besides, I'm telling you there's no way the police will stop you at that particular checkpoint that you'll be able to take off, I stay at Lekki and that area is my route. You, you're just a wicked person trying to justify murder with your useless analogy

So the many drivers that have been killed for not parting with money at various stops are what?

I said it!
I was telling my colleague the other day that there's more to this case that it's best to calm down.

It's either the driver didn't stop and infuriated the policemen or the policemen were assassins cos it doesn't work that way anymore.

Now, the first one - the driver didn't stop
Second , the car had no plate number

From the look of things , the family is connected, so the Police has no right to stop them or they were afraid of being stopped by the Police for driving a car without a plate number or a case of accidental discharge.

For the so sensitive emotional beings that will say plenty- you are welcome

Midehi3:

Shut up, just shut up, will that warrant to kill, I wonder what kind of evil blood flows for una vein, chai....and how are you sure there was no plate number hun, don't you see they are trying to twist the whole story, if when you kill for self defence, there is still punishment for that, not flag a car down, he refused then the next is to shoot, mhennn.....I weep for una

AdaojoTheUrchin:


What a silly question filled with buffoonery. Typical of Thiefnubbu's urchins.

You see white and call it black. Dishonest and dubious louts. Tueh!

sketcherJ:
I am not justifying murder, I have said that several times, I don’t even know the cop or the victim neither I am friends with the force. You are just being a sentimental person who has refused to apply common sense. The stop and search is not justified too. But i am telling you as a black man, sometimes some cops over there could routinely stop you. It’s not justified too but we can call it soft racism. When they stop you you stop, no one is saying they have the right to shoot. Come on
