Picture and video of a fully armed Nigerian police officer hiding during a bank robbery in Kogi has been trending on social media.
The officer was captured on camera hiding behind a wall while a gang of armed robbers were robbing two commercial banks in Anyigba, in the Dekina Local Government Area of the State.
IRovingNaija Reporters gathered that robbers attacked some commercial banks on Thursday shooting indiscriminately in the air to create tension and fear among residents.
The heist reportedly started at about 5 pm when the attackers assaulted the two banks and began shooting to make their escape after stealing some amounts of money.
However, while operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) engaged the robbers in an exchange of gunfire, the policeman was caught on camera hiding behind a wall despite being armed.
Reacting to the action of the policeman, a resident of the area in the recording said in Pidgin language, “Dem de collect boys. See him head. Na to de hid. Nonsense.”
