[@user-or1yu1zl5n]

Who else noticed that these guys in government never answer any single question. I urge every journalist to learn the art of intentionally putting these guys to seat at the edge of the chair. There's this "over respect syndrome" of ; oh he is a governor,he is a minister,he is a commissioner, I need to ask him questions with respect,nooo that is absolutely wrong. Of course you're not going to insult them but learn the art of bursting that their over bloated ego. Until you make your interviewer uncomfortable with logical questions, you are just scratching the surface. Look this guys eye ball to eye ball, let your sitting position reflect confidence,let the sound of your voice be bold, ask them uncomfortable but relevant questions. Enough of this over consciousness of not stepping on their toes during an interview. Immediately Rufai stared him at eyeball and asked him questions,the man had to readjust in his seat.

[@victoremmanuel567]

Asking Soldiers to Do Police Work can lead to Disaster..... Soldiers use deadly force when confronting the enemy, and their weapons are their main tools in completing this objective. Police officers, by contrast, are required to try to accomplish their missions without using weapons -- they are trained to exercise deadly force only as a last resort. NIGERIA IS NOT A DICTATORIAL GOVERNMENT. Even in police states like Russia 🇷🇺, Belarus 🇧🇾, North Korea, and China 🇨🇳 don't allow soliders going around killing innocent people or destroying properties. Nigerian is a significant failed state. It is a significant shame that the Nigerian police has become so useless and incompetence in dealing with criminal etc. What is the difference between the military and the police? The police use force for the enforcement of the law. Their main goal is to capture the subject. By contrast, the main goal of a soldier is to kill their opponent. Soldiers used as an occupation force will serve as police to capture unruly civilian, not just shoot them as they would a combatant. But this is the price Nigerians pay for giving the military police work to do. The military and the police have two completely different training manuals and operational orientation. The primary job of the police is to ensure peace and safety and to protect and serve. Soldiers are trained by their drill sergeants to shoot and kill the enemy: “One shot, one kill”, at close range. The culture of restraint at the heart of police training is unknown to the military. This is why it is dangerous to involve soldiers in the kind of police work that they have been doing in Nigeria.

[@chisomuzoma]

[@populartv7593]

Rufai, you are God sent

[@Wargee4978]

God cannot send a man who is not intelligent. Rufai is an antagonist who can never deduce good info from anyone. You should know that the place will be treated as if it was declared as state of emergency which civilians can't penetrate, and you are there asking stupid questions. Since it has not been declared state of emergency by the President and it is treated as such, the Police Commissioner has limited words. The service chiefs should be invited and interviewed.

[@user-rm1vz8rs4d]

We might need to ask At what point was the military invited for the peacekeeping mission If the commissioner says the police is the primary agency for security, at what point did the police escalate to the military An attack on the military might be an indication that the perpetrators perceived a bridge in the ongoing security protocols and operations hence , the military was seen as a threat . On the other hand , the killing of the soldiers is highly condemnable and very unnecessary.however, the military should ensure they employ a skilful process to only identify the perpetrators and not innocent locals within the communities

[@DIALLO7]

The issue is that most times, those guys posses more weapons than the police,so it's only Soldiers they fear

[@Jamie_4real]

This commissioner of police speaks well. He sounds very educated. Let's reason it this way: if the area where this military operation is taking place is a military zone, the militants have fled, the residents have fled, then whose committing the arson and genocide in the community?

[@Zaramoku]

Rufai, Rufai!, may your genes increase exponentially for your brilliance and bravery. I am embarrassed for Nigerian journalism but you and David Hundeyin keep the hope alive. I cannot believe that the governor of Delta State and his commissioner of police would boldly announce to the world that a possible genocide has occurred in Okuama without also stating why? Is Nigeria now North Korea? Why is Okuama deserted, have all the citizens been massacred or they ran away? Any answer to the above question is so troubling enough that Nigerians or even the world should know about it. Why is there a military operation in Okuama? This police commissioner seems to be covering up genocide, the world is watching through the ICC agents. Yes, soldiers should never have been killed in the community but Nigeria of 2024 cannot disgracefully have an army that thoughtlessly razes villages and massacres citizens because of the actions of a few criminals in those villages. Rufai, Abati, and the young anchor have done their best to get this commissioner to be transparent for the government (Abati even serenaded him) but he refused to be transparent. I smell a rat.

[@ab-bs5dz]

Too many questions.. Zero answer!

[@ucheobiemeaobiekea6761]

Brave, intelligent and courageous Rufai.

[@rilwanbalogun83]

Dr Abatti needs to keep his day job. I like how you serenade the IG name with king Sunny Ade music. Love that song. Police has the primary role to investigate the community

[@uceewonderstv]

Because of fishing right between a community they send their military that defend the boundary of the country, while police is kept aside. I hope the military won't one day be involved when kinsmen are quarreling. Pls let us respect our military

[@kingsleyodinaka5389]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@samuelmicheal5566]

Answer the questions perfectly commissioner of police don't lie

[@leonardugoji3387]

This interview is a total waste of time, cp can't go there, even the state governor too. Cp is relying on intelligent reports from his dpo's on a serious case like this. then how do we get things right ?

[@osas1shengen58]

Oh yes oo

[@mobo204]

Rufai wants to force this man's hand 😅😅

[@user-jt3bw7xo8s]

Mr rufai God will bless you with yiur questions.

We only hear about the 16 soldiers killed, but not about the INNOCENT civilians. na wao !

My question is what is the army doing there in the first place? Who deployed them ?on which command ?

Nigeria needs to do better when it comes to hiring police and army personnel. There are far too many incompetent officers, and there is a dearth of experience, education, and training.Nigeria needs to reorganize the military and get rid of the Boko Haram soldiers that President Buhari hired. This commissioner of police refused to respond to any of their questions and exhibits incompetence by not understanding what is happening in his role as state police commissioner.

To refute what I said, make a positive statement. Being ignorant is a disease.

[@Olawuni40]

So you want police officers of that rank to be ranting or give the public all the information when a state actor is doing an operation in a particular location under its domain?

[@chineduvalentine9540]

@@Olawuni40 Why did he accept the invitation from Arise TV if he is not prepared to provide information?Even the state governor who paid Tinubu a visit was ignorant of the situation in Okuma, so he had nothing to report.

[@wilsonogunewe2053]

Have you all noticed an ugly trend.....each time Nnamdi Kanu's bail hearing comes up, a deadly attack on security officials happens in South East or neighbouring state. Reason is this: to use the attack as a readon not to release the young man. I bet on everything i own, Northern Jihadists are the very group carrying out those attacks on security operatives in South East and South South region just like the one that happened in Delta state the other day.

[@luckyebigide5683]

I don't think there is any living thing in that community now except the army. Please ask him, if there was any peace talk with the police before the army came in.

[@kenogboi9197]

It's only God knows how many innocent citizens that they will arrest and labelled as suspect

Operation to keep Nigeria one forever-GOWON

[@eddyak5185]

This is not about security bridge. The commissioner does not know what is going on. The commissioner failed the state and the people, so the federal government invited the military.

[@leonardemekwe]

This is how to know empty governor, . Brought to book

[@fxbull9660]

Rufsiiii, you just nail it.

[@jonathanalmond3810]

How about the one happening in Delta state between Aladja and a nearby village, nobody is doing anything and people have been killed daily there .... I know someone who was beheaded life, Shame on the governor.

[@bobbyoj4092]

Why will the military lock you out the your own crime scene and deprive you from doing your investigation🤷🏾‍♀️🤔.

[@user-fv1bo1sq1r]

Mr rufai God bless you for saying the truth, and be careful with all this wicked and selfish politicians, because they don't like the truth.

Why has Tinubola not visited the Delta State? Why should the Governor of Delta go to Tinubola? This Nigeria is upside down with the current Constitutional Arrangement, where 68 items are on the exclusive list, including Arms and Ammunition, Security, Oil and Gas, Refinery and a lot of items. This Constitution empowers any hoodlums, bandits, terrorists, or jihadists to creep into every nook and crany of Nigeria. We must join hands with the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self Determination, NINAS to assert our Self Determination. This man-made Nigeria of 1914 has eaten a lot of human flesh and drunk endless litres of human blood. It is not working and must be renegotiated, reconstructed, and reconfigured!!!#NINASIsRight #TransitionNow

In all this issues what is the local government chairman and political leader say about this because their information can also help the police too though I'm not a police.
