Bursting into people’s house in the dead of the night like armed robbers not only put personnel in arms way but endanger the live of suspects.


About time EFCC rethink the mode of operation.

With a good lawyer dude can get away with murder. God help him the gun is ed, at most he will be slammed with man slaughter.

:These efcc officials are so annoying eh. Even breaking into your home at midnight.thats is burglary.police don't even know procedure, such as invite, warrant for arrests/questioning before midnight arrest . That guy is 100% innocent

No comment.

If EFCC keeps operating like armed robbers/kidnappers in the security-challenged society, they deserve to be treated like one.

Current Anambra of all places and they had the guts to burst into someone's house at 4am. Midnight raids will stop when these officials start following legal and official ways to apprehend criminals with warrants.

Too many Nigerians are Criminals. There is no excuse for Crime. All Criminals deserve death.

dem don finally send that official 6 feet deep, their own too much. dem no fit see young boys trowey face, dem go dey harass dem up and down. politicians wey dey launder money full ground, musicians and movie actors full ground, companies wey dey do many shady stuffs and money laundry full there but dem no go ever go after them, na young boys dem see.
Rip to the dead though.

All boys from the age of 17- 35 no safe again for that area, na for them to move overnight everywhere don cast.

Yahoo kills Yahoo.....Yahoo! Boys are becoming terrorist

I wonder how else yall expect law enforcement to operate again. May be next time when operating in very hostile locations like Awka, they should storm the place with SWAT like arsenal.

Anyways, I am waiting for saner climes advocates to come and explain how law enforcement is conducted in saner climes

Once they see a young man living fine the next thin they will invade his home with no search permit, if you're driving and you happen to meet them on the highway, na another wahala.
Either they extort you on the highway or tag you a yahoo boy or call you an IPOB member when you dont have money to give them, or worst scenario dem go even shoot you post your news for social media say you be unknown gun men

Suspect is in custody and firearms recovered.

These idiots are getting bolder, rather than run , they are now lay ambush for officers.
They should just kill him with the gun as well.
