The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has issued a cautionary message to individuals, particularly those considered part of the ‘woke generation,’ urging them to avoid provoking armed individuals. Hundeyin stressed the importance of prioritizing safety in interactions with armed persons, emphasizing that challenging or daring them could lead to dire consequences.
In a statement released on X.com on Monday, Hundeyin highlighted the inherent risks of engaging in confrontations with armed individuals, warning against actions such as challenging them to shoot, questioning their capacity to cause harm, or attempting to disarm them. He emphasized that such confrontations rarely end well, echoing sentiments that are applicable worldwide.
Hundeyin underscored the irreversible nature of the consequences that could result from a single gunshot or loss of life, urging individuals to exercise caution and restraint in their interactions with armed persons. He emphasized the prevailing reality that the presence of a firearm often grants a significant advantage to the individual wielding it.
The police spokesperson clarified that the cautionary message applies not only to encounters with armed police officers but also to interactions with any armed individual, including security personnel and criminals. Hundeyin’s statement serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing personal safety and avoiding unnecessary confrontations with armed individuals.
