“I want to ask a question to the lawyers here if this
the man had fatally struck back this police officer, let's say with a kitchen knife or something sharp, would it be considered self-defense or murder?”.

“Why are much Nigerian police always aggressive? Are these guys trained at all or are they trained to be aggressive and intimidate people? God's protection to all unarmed citizens. Amen”.

“Na Wetin makes dem Dey drop them steady for Enugu be this. Em is not fit to try this rubbish consistently for that side. Next, you go hear say dem mark him and me squad falls all of them on a random day. This man is either a tout in uniform or is trying to bring doom unto himself someday. I hope the government ends if for him before person wey dey mean end am for am. Very unprofessional set of people staining the good ones in the same police force. Messing His fellow grown man up in the name of police”.
