The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, has issued a stern warning to the public, urging Nigerians to refrain from confronting or provoking armed individuals.
In a recent statement posted on his official account, Hundeyin emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety and avoiding unnecessary risks, especially among the younger population.
Addressing the growing trend of confrontations with armed individuals, Hundeyin urged citizens, particularly the youth, to exercise caution and restraint in such situations.
He wrote, “Ladies and gentlemen, especially the woke generation, for your safety, please stop challenging/daring an armed person to shoot, asking an armed person, daringly, how many people he/she can kill or attempting to disarm an armed person.
“It never pans out well. Nowhere in the world does it. A shot once fired can never be retrieved. A life once lost can never be brought back.
“Remember, one with gun is majority.
“Note: This is not about armed police officers only. This is about any armed person, security forces, or criminals.”
