We are our own enemies.

Imagine these ones scheming by deceit to impoverish another hustling man like themselves.

They will be the first to cast aspersions on the president.

The change we wish to see in Nigeria should start with each one of us.

I’m not sure I understood what I read

When Maga catch maga

Good one

The insecurities is becoming alarming all over the country.

Hehehehe

What crime have they committed now?

They have not committed any, EFCC should free them

Robbery na normal means of livelihood to them just like a career.

Watch as some people will start defending them now calling EFCC names.

All armed robbers and kidnappers should be killed without wasting time

Crime ... You hustle anyhow finish just for what ?

I hope you all know that whatever happens in your life, it's can only be experienced through senses ... It's all simply sensations.

The greatest disservice you can do to damage the chances of your kids is to be caught as a criminal in this age of social media... Till they die they would have to live with the sins of the father

Look at their old, dirty, worn out jackets.
EFCC officials wey no fit patronize a professional printer for a logo, na even hand dem use write the EFCC for the jacket.

Its always been alarming

I think it spike up all of a sudden. And it seems the govt is clueless on how to curtail the menace.

Any armed robber wey rob the poor or hustler does not deserve to live.

Omo
See how these idiots tarnished the image of a good organization like Man O War.
Man O war are very discipline, they are not known for this kind of act.

It is sad.
Warbay Wee!

That's the implications of Nigeria securities for not having up to international security standards level as a result every criminal can easily disguise as one of them and one will hardly identify who is real because both them don't operate with the rules of law!

There name sounds terrorist though

People dey get mind Sha

Typical way of deflecting culpability

Thieves.
You have met your waterloo.

Jail them 30 years imprisonment.

No room for thieves in Nigeria again.

Seeing there reflect jacket self, you go no say na fake them be.

I want them jail for long so that others may learn from it.

There are so many legitimate hustle people will engage in to make money but no, you want the one your fellow human toiled to get.

Fools.

I don't trust NPF handling this case. They may be released back to the society if care is not taken.
