The development has been confirmed by the Public Relations Officer, Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe.

His family should start praying for him

Gumi frolicks with bandits yet is treated as untouchable

This man go chop better drilling ehn.. His life can never be thesame again.

There is a need to set up an independent of enquiry to unravel the mysteries surrounding the death of the gallant Nigerian soldiers and officers.

He should prove his innocence

Nigeria is a useless enclave, the military is the one supposed to Handover suspects to the police but here it's the police handing over suspect to the military

ldab:
I pity for this man

You pity for him? What if he is innocent?

My problem here is why will the police hand over a suspect to the military instead of the other way round?

It will depend on his level of involvement.

If he is not involved, nothing will happen. All eyes are on the military too so everyone will play wisely.

Delta state governor should wade into this and make sure nothing happens to that king, that is if he is innocent of the whole thing

The military are more discipline than the police sef, so nothing would happen to him .. They just need to investigate and know not just those who ambush their men , but to also know the root cause of the communal clashes. ..

That's the tragedy of a country called Nigeria

Nothing will happen to him, he should prove his innocence

The military can not be a judge in his own case and that is why Nigerians fought against military rule in the past.

Nigeria is a funny country.

RIP to the fallen heroes. May God console their families. Police handing over civilian suspects to the army is exactly I don't understand. Has the Arm forces Act being reviewed to grant the military powers to detain or charge civilian criminal suspects in court. I think the armed forces are becoming a legal burden in the istration of our criminal justice system. Let the army immediately hand him back to police so trials can commence in earnest. We have grown past this lawlessness as a country and...

Meanwhile bandits are being recycled while Sheikh Gumi was never arrested or handed over. Talk of different laws for the same people in the same country.

The Nigerian Military are the most undisciplined in the whole wide world.

From their attrocities in Sierra Leone to Liberia , to Nigeria.
Very undisciplined........
