Why Killing The Enugu Chairman, Nawa o 😢

Nawa..look at their ugly killer faces😏

ok too many killings...ppl jus dying like xmax fowls

Market chairman no dira

I don't crime but sometimes if not all the time, I don't trust the Nigeria Police. These bunch of uniformed terrorists can lie for the whole world.
These wretched looking folks may have been randomly picked from different locations either for wandering or little crime as pick pockets but the police would accuse them of higher crime they didn't commit or even get close to crime scene as at when that crime took place.
Why is the police quick to tell the world that the suspected criminals confessed to the crime, if they did during questioning (not under torture), then charge them to court with recorded evidence instead of condemning them already.

The Nigerian Police is never professional in the discharge of their duties. From IG to the last man at the police counter, they are all useless and unprofessional.

Undoubtedly the most unsafe region in subsaharan Africa

All these killings should just stop

God bless the Nigeria Police for their response on this matter. It is now left for the court to do justice .. the matter must be followed up to the later . We want justice over the matter. Those who killed by gun must die by gun without pity . No peace for the wicked says the Almighty God of Justice .

Enugu state that was very peaceful before has now turned to an insecurity ravaged state

yoruboid:
Undoubtedly the most unsafe region in subsaharan Africa

Which country is it located Nigeria

yoruboid:
Undoubtedly the most unsafe region in subsaharan Africa

Maybe the entire world.

Looking like cultist
