If na joke abeg make una stop am. Which kind parading of suspect be that. We no the rush una and we say no to half baked stories. This is human life we are talking about, how can a young man just vanished with no trace leaving families worried only to end up fucking dead?

Wicked human...You hit someone while driving recklessly yet you didn't make any attempt report yourself to the police.

You carried on with your life as if the person you hit is a dog.And here you are lying blatantly in front of the camera saying you thought the person is an armed robber.

Did you see any weapon with him?See where your wickedness has got you.

Wait o, let's be honest here. So this man knocked someone with his car since last month and it was yesterday they saw the dead body? Question where did they see the dead body? Which autopsy was carried out to show he was knocked down? If this said driver knocked down someone and ran away to the point of even fixing the car then he is a serial killer.

But wait who we dey deceive?

Most people commenting here don't drive. Look, when you inadvertently knock down a pedestrian or biker, you have a split second to make a decision: If you see in that split second the injury isn't bad, you can stop to offer assistance, if you see the person is dead, then you just have to make a run for it.
It may sound callous, but it is the ugly truth no one wants to it to. It doesn't mean you don't feel remorse, but it was an accident, you didn't do it deliberately. The person has already died, your stopping to be lynched, killed, sent to prison adds no value to the situation.
This is the hard truth.
N.B. my comment is strictly about driving and driving scenarios. Not about whether this fellow is telling the truth or not or whether the journalist was kidnapped or not.

Even if he is an armed robber,who made you judge jury and executioner?
This is why we have been clamoring for a movement against 'jungle-justice', you don't know if it will be your relatives that will be accused wrongly in future.
I watched a short video on how a police officer - even though I detest them - was badly brutalized today in such an inhumane way and I cringed ,like wtf! ,aren't this people emphatic at all,how does it feel under their skin to know that they are mauling a human to death.
I keep saying this, criminals are bad but people who engage in jungle justice are worse and are also criminals

The suspect's story is too simple with little conspiracy in it.
How can a person's death be that simple?
No enemies, haters or evil government involved?

When the corpse was found, was it decomposed or was it still fresh?
