ReplyDeletemuch as it is sad for one to take the life of another, why didnt the cab man stop? if u are innocent and r not guilty of anything with nothing to hide...he should have just stopped....ds wouldnt have happened. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteAv said this and am saying it again we have to take the bull by d horn for this country to knw peace. We need revolution in this country. These animals called police are so useless that nothing good can neva erupt from their organization. All in the name of N50 they've killed innocent soul struggling to make ends meet to cater for himself and his family and with this no justice wud be done. Nigerian Police i bet u ur days are numbered. Awon oloshi. Whoeva shot this man will neva knw peace for d rest of his life.
ReplyDeletehe is my neighbour, a very quiet and peaceful man wit two kids, I was sitting outside wit him on sunday 27th dec, and he asked why has has not been seeing me in church and I told him i atended first mass becos he attended second mass wit family same day but I never new, that day was going to be the last day I will see him, It happened on 28th dec because that was the day we heard the wife screaming at 11pm that night that the husband has been killed by police and we all rushed out that night crying too, so sad he has to end up this way leaving children between the ages of three and one year respectively.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on in this country, why open fire on a car just bcos it didnt stop, did they think they'd hit a gost, of course there were humans in there, Is there no value for life anymore, especially from those are sworn to protect it! Damn the police to hell !!!
ReplyDeleteThe stupid people! so they are at it again? amy God punish them. why does the govt give them guns anyways? if they cant shoot armed robbers its only where civilians are they would have power! see a young man they just killed who knows if he is the sole provider for his family...things like this makes me want to tie all the policeofficers together and burn them. very stupid and annoying people. i hate them with so much passion...
ReplyDeletecant stop weepin
ReplyDeleteNigeria...our beloved country has finally turned into a land of anarchy. Citizens do not love one another. Lawlessness,wickedness is the order of the day. The Nigerian Police Force has turned on the people they are duty bound to protect.
ReplyDeleteWe the people of Nigeria need to rise up and act, we need to pray, we need to cooperate to help our land, we must to do something. It is our fathers' land, Foreigners will not help us, Heaven help those who help themselves. We must eschew wickedness, corruption, bad governance, crimes..No action is insignificant. We must do something. I will try to the limits of my abilities!
RIP young man..May Almighty God give your family the fortitude to bear the great loss.
What's going on in nig may he Rip .
ReplyDeleteGod please protect us all from dangers morning,afternoon n night.This is so sad,may is soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe person in the picture is my brother Mr Nzenwa Augustine Chinagorom. He was shot by the police in Rumuola and died in his own pool of blood like a common criminal. The police is yet to make an official statement concerning the matter but they should be rest assured as the family is suing big time.
ReplyDeleteconsidering the kind of criminality present in the south, i can not blame the police for firing at a car that refuses to stop when ordered to, that is going by the facts available here. in this day and age you have to comport yourself with any policeman carrying a gun, to be on the safe side.
ReplyDeleteThis type of behaviour is the reason i dont feel sorry for the Nigerian Policemen when they are killed by Robbers. They are very greedy and wicked and deserve to die like Chickens...
ReplyDeleteSuch an un-necessary waste of life... All for N50.
Nonsense.
Gees, what a gruesome murder, what has the Nigerian police turn into. Oh my God, please this has to stop, who knows who will be the next victim?
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the deceased it too graphic. Please warn viewers before they view the rest of the post.
ReplyDeleteuhm!!! Here's the thing... Does it make any sense that an innocent civilian is killed by the same armed forces that are supposed to protect him? Only is Nigeria that you see this level of incompetence in the armed forces.. Not only is the governemtn crap, the armed forces and security is crap. Now people are killing each other and using religion to a basis for this (Boko Haram).. It's simple... The country is lost and so immersed in corruption and even insanity on every level.. Unless something is done and fast.. The country will not change.. It'll only get worse... RIP!!!
ReplyDeletethis is really bad. i really feel sad for the guy. see how his life was just wasted cos of dis untrained policemen. God dey
ReplyDeleteplease when they say stop please stop. no big boy for gun and police please let no west life like cock please. bro RIP. from January to December 1st.
ReplyDeleteThis just sick!!!O Nigeria my heart weeps for you and your lack of value for human lives! i pray this guy's family find some closure this is unacceptable!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the driver of the cap and why didn't he stop knowing who a Nigerian police is?
ReplyDeleteCant this accursed set of people be scraped and fresh set of people trained in their stead???
ReplyDeleteI am sure Nigerians wouldnt miss them in the period it will take for the overhaul cos really the police is are the menace that the police should curb
Just a sad tale, a young man, cut in his prime just for being a citizen of a country with a cursed police force
This is just too sad. Where is the driver of the cap and why didn't he stop knowing who a Nigerian police is?
ReplyDeletePolice in this country is disgusting,boko haram is everywhere disturbing the peace of this great country,they won't search for them,now bcos of fifty naira they waste this young mans life.They will never go unpunished.Guy may gentle soul RIP.
ReplyDeleteIs like the NPF needs blood to continue to exist, especially innocent blood. God, see how wickedness has increased. Maybe we should
ReplyDeletechange their uniform to red, so we know what they stand for, because, I cannot think of any other thing(s) the NPF do best than killing innocent people.
hey ladies n gentle men.... In as much as we all don't like wat has happened here..... We should tender our judgement carefully.... Before u insult d police take ur time to look at pics from boko haram rampage in bauchi, yobe, zaria, kaduna n look at those killings carefully...... This is a celebration season n d police hv to do their job diligently to make us safe..... If that cab had stopped we wouldn't hv seen any brouhaha...... Plsss put urselves in d policemen shoes before u castigate them....
ReplyDeletethe person who said they don't blaim the police for shooting is very stupid. so what if the crime rate is high? you dont just dispose ammunition like that. what if there were kids in the car hunh? then what? such reckless behaviour.
ReplyDeleteIf the taxi didn't stop, why didn't they
ReplyDelete1. Jump into their own vehicle and pursue them?
2. Shoot at the tires to stop them?
These fools meant to kill, that was their only mission. Pple should stop making it seem like the police had good intentions.
Did they ever stop and think that innocent passengers were in the car? All the police men involved should die by firing squad.
Its time to sing:
ReplyDeleteWe voted Jonathan, not PDP.
We voted Jonathan, not Goodluck.
Who knows the next person to be killed by these state assasins? It could be any of you reading this.
Next time vote wisely.
Oga Olopa o mo ise, o yo nise, Ijoye o ka oju iwon, o yo l oye………….. Lapite. Nigeria is a useless country
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 2:22pm..do you understand the meaning of VIEWERS DISCRETION ADVISED?
ReplyDeleteNigerians are endangered species.
ReplyDeleteUntil 1 of dem is held accountable and used as scape goat dis wanton killing wld continue. Cursed pple dts y wen soldiers beat dem no1 is moved.
ReplyDeleteThe police should brace up, because one of these incessant killings would lead to been lynched by a mob.
ReplyDeleteNigeria police is non trained pple, what soever they does is going 2 laid on their verious family, i pray so
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. The young man woke up, dressed up not knowing that would be his last day on earth. Rest in Peace, Mr Nzenwa Augustine Chinagorom
ReplyDeleteAm surprised at some peoples response regarding this issue,some are saying only if the driver has stopped this wouldnt av happened(trying to justify the shooting in a way).Such a tot is Gross Rubbish and only shows the level of decadence in the average Nigerian Mindset...so just cos a taxi refuses to stop that gives a policeman the right to shoot?? an example of this happened in the states less dan a week ago..4 guys broke into a store and carted away and ATM all the police could do was chased after them for sometime immediately the guys drove into an area that was populated with people( which mins pple could easily be knocked down if the chase was to continue)..the policemen stopped chasing then and stated that they stopped for "safety reasons" and later announced on that anyone that has any info about the robbers should contact the nearest station.These were guys that were caught on security camera loading an ATM into a van and not a single shot was fired truout the chase.This man ere was never a robber neither did our trigger happy policemen notice anytn incriminating in the vehicle in which he was in...so,ow do u explain shooting at the vehicle???It's simple...we have lost value for human life in Nigeria..I weep for my dear Nation.
ReplyDelete@anon 2:22..u mumu o
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't theu shoot @ d tyre of d car? NPF na wah o
ReplyDeleteI am very sad at the kind of response i see here,how can anyone justify this action? Some say if only the driver had stopped?"na wah for una o", why are there road blocks in the first place? Thought road blocks where erected in counties at war?are we at war?in naija road blocks are erected to intimidate and kill law abiding citizens while the criminals go scott free,not to mention the myraid of accidents they cause on the death traps we ccall roads with all those items the police mount on the highway yet we say this is a democracy RIP Mr Augustine Chinagorom may ur death not go unpunished*smh* its very sad
ReplyDeleteI think a demonstration shud be held at aso rock, or national assembly, dis killings are becoming 2 much. A lot of innocent people are dying, we as citizens shud stage a protest.
