A video circulating online has captured the moment an unidentified man confronted armed police officers in Bayelsa State and allegedly chased them with a stick.
In the footage, the man is seen wielding a stick as he advances towards the policemen, who were carrying assault rifles. One of the officers also appeared to be holding a long stick as the man moved closer.
The officers reportedly fled after their gunshots allegedly failed to stop the man. While some attempted to get into their patrol vehicle, others ran away as the man continued pursuing them.
A witness could be heard saying in the video, “It will not work.”

OGUNJOBI MICHEAL (@da…): Let’s forget the juju for a sec Assuming e work kor ? Shey na so Nigeria police go kill person for fun?
Bigpips NG (@toozed_): Not all heroes wear caps. Absolute legend!
Luca Brasi (@Usual_suxpekt): If not for “fortification” of whatever kind, that would have been another extra-judicial killing. I keep saying NPF personnel need to undergo constant training and retraining, plus psychological evaluation. This incident enforces that train of thought.
Newsfield Nigeria (@newsfiel…): Even with a bullet proof vest it’d still have impact or the bullet was off target
RJ McLeod Contractors (@Mc…): Na this guy suppose chase bandit from bush 😂

Bright_Szn (✨) (@thidey56310): They didn’t even think twice before shooting the man … we are so fucked up in this country…. what if he’s mad 😳
Banky (@Skilobankz001): A lawless country, on what terms will a police officer open a fire arm to person they can out number , bunch of illiterates and unprofessionalism .
Mr Prolific (@mr__prolific): This is the one of the richest and biggest black nation on earth. Just see the way law and order works. We all screamed Black Lives Matter, when we don’t even love ourselves. No rule of law from the government to the governed. That’s why it will remain a 3rd world country forever, not because of infrastructure, but because there’s no rule of law. It’s a jungle ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Joe clark (@OrokeSunda74650): Am always happy when ever Nigeria armed forces are disgraced
Mitochondria (@deoriginal…): From the way the guy is walking, it’s obvious his leg was shot, but maybe not in an angle that broke his bone. You can see that from how he is walking after being shot.
There’s no magical power that can save anyone from a gunshot to a vital organ. You’d be dead without quick medical intervention.
Common Person (@Lekanliste…): He’s a chosen
Johnson Onyeabordike (@M…): What did he do that they shoot at him? Offense that warrants arrest, my country police they open fire… Kai
Unfiltered (🏴☠️🐐) (@withlove…): This is honestly wild 😭. The fact that a man could chase armed police officers with just a stick after allegedly being shot at is shocking. Whatever happened here, the full context behind this incident definitely needs to be investigated.
ERNESSYBABA (@Ernessyba…): This Nigeria na cruise 😆…one man de chase officers 🤧😂
Chosen Is Blessed! (@petere…): This one happened and people believed it but if it was a member of the Lord’s chosen that collected a gun from Armed robbers with bear hands after being shot, people will say it was fake & that the Lord’s chosen is fake church with fake miracles. They won’t believe God’s power😁
Rae Cyprain (@cyprain_rae): Aside gun you have other weapons Fr So what’s the point of running a full squad been chased by single man
