The man holding that pistol maybe innocent......it is often said that the police sometimes parade innocent people with arms from their exhibit room as criminals to the press, destroying these individuals. Such wicked police personnel forget that where their power stops is where another starts and the children also will be subject to others.

Rands and Naira

What is his name? I wan check something.

They said chukwuemeka oputa. He is one of the troublers of nigeria

The useless elements making people restless.

They're not smart criminals



Why rob individuals Why not rob government and big corps



A tanker carrying fuel to and fro with a driver is usually unarmed
Shouldn't be a big deal snatching one , sell the fuel and repaint the trailer



Crime pays but only for people way get sense


Na why a lot of yahoo boys no get sense

Go to Hong Kong or Thailand and see real boys

I just check their names

They will pound him in prison too . Use ur ruggedity to face this our government and not individuals...

Ok

The comments on this forum: let's condemn the crime and shun tribalism.

His arrest is consequent upon the apprehension of one Moses Hassan 'm' of Idda, Kogi State, a cultist, and member of the armed robbery gang, on February 14, 2024.

Investigation subsequently led police operatives to the arrest of three other gang , namely: Praise Etta, 30 years 'old, of Etung, Cross River State; Rafael Dav A.K.A. Raffy, 28 years old, of Guma, Benue State; and Thomas Akange, 38 years 'old, of Markudi, Benue State.

This country is built against the igbos at every turn of events.

Look at those arrested even before chukwuemeka was arrested but it is Chukwuemeka's name that is making the headline.

He MAY also not be innocent.
Stop making assumptions when you don't have proof to back it up.

See head like bonga fish, bears like iron sponge and face like monkey. I have no doubt this is one of the cursed animals involved in heightened kidnapping of innocent commuters along Abuja-kaduna route. If you check properly now, he is also calling for obifraud to be installed as president.
