I've been hearing about karma since my childhood but I can't categorically say I've ever witnessed one, but according to the things we've been seeing in our country lately it seems karma has finally decided to show her face for people to see. The police in Nigeria is ranked among the worst and most brutal in the world due to the inhuman treatment they give to innocent citizens
They kill, maim with impunity, and rape innocent women, the citizens have protested severally but the government of the day turns deaf ears to the people's plight. Recently, we started witnessing incessant gruesome murder of uniformed men by a group of people simply defined as "the unknown gunmen".
The killing of uniformed men, burning of police stations, and dismantling of police roadblocks have been going on for over one month now, yet no one has been able to trace the perpetrators to date. The police seem to be endangered because they are a soft target for the " unknown gunmen" who always attack and escape successfully without trace
The funny part of this whole thing is that the civilians are on the side of the unknown gunmen because they believe the police are being paid pack for all the atrocities and innocent people they have been killing all the while. As if to lay more credence to the karma belief, an incident took place in aba Abia state. The police in their usual manner tried to arrest a young man driving a tinted SUV car, the young man tried to resist arrest. While forcing him to follow them, one of the policemen pulled out a gun to shoot the young man but mistakenly shot one of his colleagues who fell to the ground immediately
While the policemen gathered around their colleague trying to see if they could resuscitate him, the young man seized that opportunity to enter his car and zoomed off immediately. According to an eyewitness, the incident which happened around bata left onlookers amazed as to how a police officer will shoot his colleague by mistake. The victim seemed to have died on the spot because he was shot in the chest.
These are the kind of things we have experienced over the years in the hands of the police and other security agents, now they seem to be victimized, tables have turned, the predator has now become the prey while the prey watches in bewilderment. It remains a mystery to a lot of people how the strange incidents have been occurringg in successions against the police and other uniformed men over the last weeks or months.
Could it be that karma is taking its course?
We still watch and observe as things unfold. Meanwhile, everyone has to be careful and alert because no one knows who or where is next to be hit
