Laila Ijeoma A video of a Nigerian policeman aiming to shoot at a barking dog, preventing the arrest of its owner accused of being a fraudster has gone viral.
It was gathered that the scene was recorded in neighboorhood in Ibadan, Oyo state when the police attempted to arrest alleged fraudsters a.k.a ‘yahoo yahoo’ boys. One of the policemen who showed up for the arrest, was spotted on the fence of the compound and was engaging the dog as he pointed his gun, aiming to shoot at it. He was heard telling the dog ”come now, come”….
Police Reforms activist, Sega Awosanya who reacted to the video wrote;
I just want the

This is coming after it was reported that the Nigerian police and Civil Defence Corps claimed that it need N310m, to feed and administer drugs to dogs that will be deployed in states for the 2019 elections.
The Nigeria Police Force will also require N7m to feed 50 horses that would be used for patrol during the elections which will take place between February 16 and March 2, 2019. The information is contained in the 2018 virement proposal sent to the National Assembly for the 2019 general election by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The total police budget for the elections stands at N30.5bn; the Office of the National Security Adviser, N4.2bn; the Department of State Services, N12.2bn; NSCDC, N3.5bn and the Nigeria Immigration Service, N2.6bn.
that is a crime on its own because the dog is a living too
Frankly, from what I know, dogs and dogs aren’t the same. The kind of dogs the police need N310m to feed aren’t the kind of dog the officer tried to shoot.
Besides, an armed law enforcement officer has the right to shoot and animal if it’s a threat in any way. After all, of what use is his right to firearms!
He has to kill the dog if the owner doesn’t want to take it out of the way.
It’s his right to fire arms
Nigeria police are very funny. Why can’t they seek for court warrants for their arrest. It would have been better than standing on the fence to shoot a dog. What about if it turns to a stray bullet and hit an innocent person? Another story!?…
Dogs for election seriously they need proper training for that
Nigeria police will not stop to amaze me, as he is aiming at the dog what is someone is passing by and the bullet met d person what will he say
It’s very true that this so called Yahoo boys have and are doing terrible things to individual and to the image of the country and the must be apprehended..but what I learned about this story is the loyalty of the dog.Loyalty is a rear germ no our days.Its absence could be felt every where including in the political scene and every aspect of life.This dog is loyal to his Master irrespective and not knowing what he has done.
Nigerian police. Is there no better approach?
police people should be careful
Lol this really funny ,Nigerian police can not stop to entertain us with comedy,he is afraid of his life I gues that’s while all the melodrama are in play
Lol I think is a mad dog the owner should be very careful
There are dogs and there are other dogs. If police need funds to specially train for the forthcoming election to be fair and free and violencefree let them give them the funds.
all this rubbish and untrained police taking up to two hours to aim at dog
Hmmm
It’s well
This is funny and hallarious how will you kill the dog all because the dog is loyal
Hmmm! Nigeria Police & their unending drama .Can’t they act in a more civilized manner?
No one Should blame the police man up there but that Mr idiris. He is a fool and illiterate and as such cannot produce anything good. A sheep cannot give birth to a lion
It’s possible he will shoot the dog if left.
Why his he aiming at another mans dog,if u can’t enter the compound can’t u think of something else to do na wa for our Nigeria police
What did the dog do to him now
I have seen a deadly dog before it’s possible that the dog might be very deadly in order for him to serve himself
Oga ooo this police officer Sha dog, animal what dose the dog do to him.
He’s trying to practice his profession I guess
But the dog is only being loyal to it’s owner
Wait ooo all this billion billion for what, any I guess the office was just trying to play with the dog.
Nigeria things wahala
Dogs will always defend it’s owner.
So unprofessional
Useless people,they behave as if they never go for training
This story line is so dramatic, Nigeria police will surely make it in due season. I will keep saying it that our police needs more orientation
Dogs are man’s best friend, whether the man is a criminal or not. But the police should have a better way of addressing the issue
That is how trained they are ordinary dog he want to kill
They just have to be very careful before if any officer die the work continue
And they also have watch dogs ooo. So, if the dog moved closer, he was going to shot it.
wow unbelievable why did he want to kill the Dog
Very funny
Serious matter..drama here n there..the owner of the dog is aware of what’s happening outside guess.may God help us oh.
Nigeria Police are yet to be well trained to handle dogs. So, they need the money for express and executive professional trainings with dogs.
What the police man is doing is very wrong, anything can happen in such situation and innocent life can be claimed
So funny
Ds one weak me…
N310m to feed dogs, I wonder if the dogs are going to be feeding in presidential hotel with the presidential aspirants. Even if the Nigerian government dish out these wooping sums of money that ranges in billions for the agencies, they will still make a mess of themselves for peanuts during elections
Why would he want to shoot the dog at the first place, that is uncalled for
This is bad! Killing the poor dog will not make him a hero rather he has to answer to animal right activists because that poor dog also has right to live. Let them look for the best way to arrest the owner since he committed a crime.
I laugh tire, be have killed humans tire now na dog
There are better ways of handling that than to kill it
Why dog no go bark, when our police climbed a fence,it must bark
That policeman most be a hunter in his previous life.
Dogs are to protect is owners…so the police have no right to kill the dog
When you enter someone’s house, the dog must react, but if it’s a threat am afraid it might be killed
At this part of the world, dog is just an animal . We are just adopting the Western world culture . The police must save himself first
Look at,,, they should go and look for criminals out there
Lol… U don’t blame d dog since d police man decided to use the fence. D dog taught he was d real criminal
Dog are to protect there owner any time any day,i think dog was doing the right thing.
The way police men shoot this days is alarming, how can a police man try to kill a dog.
He should look for something doing and let the innocent dog be
The police are itching to always shoot
Animals behave like human being at times it already knows all is not well wat the owner is wrong so they must take him
It is well
The dog did his job far better with his show of resilience.
Why is the police man aiming at the dog. Is the dog a criminal. They should go and do their job
Its scaring that Nigerian police are behaving this way and get mock like this.
Is this a comedy movie or it’s real life action from Nigerian police, climbing through someone’s fence in the name of arrest?
All this billion of naira, for what now!!
If the Nigerian police can shot a man because of refusal to pay #50 on the road, is it a dog they won’t shoot.
God will always safe us
Imagine policeman they fear dog
Nigeria police are funk , the van act drama
joblessness
Funny comedy by Nigeria police,that is how far dog can go to protect its owner
I believe what the police officer was trying to do was to get the dig off it’s way besides the digs police needs is security dog
So funny
I like d dog
Police and brutality
But if they sight fully armed robbers..they will take to their heels..just an animal o.
Not nice oo
The police force needs total overhaul and good funding for good training of their officers.Can’t blame this police officer na
Address what. The Yahoo boy is using the dog as a defence tool. They had to get rid of the dog in order to get to the Yahoo guy.
The Nigerian police never seize to amaze me
He is not a brave police man
He should have fired it. Why would a dog stop him from doing his work
Why can’t he kill the dog and do his work
Lol, pet sometimes can be funny because he knows he’s going to suffer if his owner is taking away. It’s a family. Anyone would have done that if their family is in the same shoes
Lol I think is a mad dog the owner should be very careful or else the we meet is doom.
310 million to feed dogs? What about the nation? Common 30k Una refuse to pay workers. See the nonsense police are doing sef, how then did they handle the so called dog they are feeding for 310 m? It is well o,
Nawa for him ooo
Just a joker
