To those battling with addiction and are tired the nearest NDLEA office and start your rehab. Stay safe

Balogun will read the news and see that Seun was just hanged in Malaysia for this crime, yet Balogun will still do the same thing.

Chukwudi will read the news and see that Emeka was just hanged in China for this crime, yet Chukwudi will still do the same thing.

Auwal will read the news and see that Ahmad was just hanged in China for this crime, yet Auwal will still do the same thing.

There is something wrong with these people mentally.

They need medical treament before being hanged.

Come out in full force and yab us very well because we won't spare you an inch when it's your turn. No n'gbati n'gbati no victim mentality, na straight attacks until our societies are rid of these disgusting lowlifes.

Frustration is d common denominator on d faces of all the accused.

The economy is very bad and d demand for these life threatening drugs are on high rise by youths to escape depression.
