The FCT Police Command recently announced it had foiled a robbery attempt in Kado, sharing photos of items recovered from the suspect, including two pistols and a catapult. While some praised the police for acting swiftly, others reacted with sarcasm and skepticism.
One comment that sparked debate read: “Una no see bandit with pump action and machine Gun carry na person with catapult una see.”
The remark suggests that arresting suspects with smaller or less intimidating weapons is insignificant compared to capturing heavily armed bandits. Critics of the comment argue that crime prevention isn’t selective—armed robbery, regardless of scale, still poses a threat to public safety.
Supporters, however, say the frustration reflects public anger over the perceived inability of authorities to tackle more dangerous criminal groups. The exchange highlights growing distrust in law enforcement priorities and the public’s demand for broader, more decisive security action.
