Photos: Is it okay for a plain clothes policeman to enter an eatery with a gun?

A LIB reader sends in what he witnessed at an eatery in Enugu state today. Read below...
I was about entering Chitis, a popular eatery in my school UNN. A police van and an Acura Jeep parked outside and a gun wielding plain clothes police man alighted from the van and entered the eatery. I don't understand how one can be so reckless in a place filled with students. This is meant to be a "civilized" society. I think it is even unlawful to carry such gun in plain clothes.
He could have been mistaken for an armed robber and caused serious panic ...

And there's no law that forbids a policeman not to carry out his gun, when he still at his cause of his duty. It will be unlawful when he his not on duty.

Unknown said...

It is wrong. Totally unacceptable 4 u 2 carry unconcealed weapon into a shopping Mart or eatery without the intention of using it to prevent a real threat.
But these dirty cops will never listen cos they see holding a gun as a sign of strength or something.
So stupid.

knowurway.com said...

It is bad and is not good for a police man to carry gun with plain clothe. Because there is no deference between him and arm robbers @ that time. They said Buhari will take us back if elected President! Nigerians say it's a good decision to go back when you've lost your way on a 16yrs PDP journey where our destination as a nation is no longer visible. Please, Buhari, take us back to the era where:1. One Dollar was less than one Naira. It is incredible today!2. Everything was on first come first serve basis.3. There was zero tolerance for corruption.4. Oil refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri & Kaduna were built & running at full capacity.5. Anybody with questionable wealth was afraid to display it in public. 6. There was Zero tolerance for indiscipline. Everything was in order7. Nigeria had no debt at all.8. Neglecting your children was a crime9. Littering the public place was a crime10. Twenty oil depots were built and functioning.11 Western world can't interfere into our nation.12. Chad invaded Nigeria, we sent them packing but did not harness their Land13. Our economy was NOT running on generator14. We can sleep with our eyes closed because we were secured.15. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia need not to set example on how to deal with drug pushers. 16. The Maitaseine Islamic Sect insurgency in the North was crushed on record time. 17. We want those days when Buhari was a military Governor but did not amass illegal wealth. 18. We want those days when Buhari was a Minister of Petroleum but did not hire a private jet for N10 billion. 19. We want those days when Buhari was a Head of State but did not loot the Treasury. 20. We want those days when Buhari was Head of PTF but did not steal the Fund even in the days of Abacha when stealing was the order of the day. Pls, Buhari & Osinbajo, take us BACK! We can't afford another 4yrs of waste in the hands of PDP!!! Take us BACK to the good old days of this our great nation. #havedecided to vote for #change

Correct, especially if in plain clothes. You have to have a way of differentiating you from armed robbers.

switch Express said...

Sad. Totally sad. It goes beyond shit like this. You see them in their vans, with their guns hanging limp, fully loaded. With our bumpy roads, u do know that a wrong turn and a hit on a bump and the rifle, which they have facing civilians anyways, could discharge. Its absurd. Brandishing a loaded rifle, while in regular clothes. How so unprofessional. What do you expect tho, when they recruit secondary school drop outs into the force. Totally sad. The nigerian police force requires a total overhauling. Pronto
