An alleged criminal engaged in a fierce confrontation with police officers, which culminated in the suspect being tear-gassed and subsequently run over by a police robot. The incident, captured on video, has sparked widespread attention and debate.
The altercation began when the suspect resisted arrest, leading to a physical struggle with the officers. As the situation escalated, the police deployed tear gas to subdue the individual. Despite the tear gas, the suspect continued to resist, prompting the use of a police robot to assist in the apprehension.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic. "It was like something out of a movie," said one bystander. "The police were trying to control the situation, but the guy just wouldn't give up."
The use of the police robot, a relatively new addition to law enforcement's arsenal, has raised questions about the methods employed during the arrest. However, authorities defended their actions, citing the need to ensure public safety and the suspect's refusal to comply.
"The deployment of the robot was a necessary measure under the circumstances," stated a police spokesperson. "Our primary goal is always to resolve situations with minimal harm, but we must also protect our officers and the public."
The video of the incident has gone viral, drawing reactions from both Nigerians and international viewers. While some praised the police for their quick thinking and use of technology, others expressed concern over the potential for excessive force.
