These are the criminal elements destroying Kwara.

Nigeria makes it easier for kidnappers, they go to jail, get released and go back to kidnapping. We need harsh punishment for kidnappers.

Make una come see fool oo.

It is organised, with even some 'oga' at the top.

End time criminal, they will soon release him

I know it must be that section of the country.

If u are in Abuja especially around Central area,Utako,Jabi and Wuse areas of the FCT be careful of those men selling Agbo wearing Ankara.

They are often wearing ankara anytime anyway and any day,na ritual things they do. They only use the sex enhancing drug to engage u in talks and after that,they will expose their real trade.

The painful part is that,they are all from one section of the country.

Just be careful not to be used.

It is common in Upper Iweka too.

Police won't follow this up and find out who his accomplices are. I won't be surprised if he's quietly released after the dust settles

demn！He should be amputated mehn！

Shun tribalism. Crime is not exclusive to a particular region. Don't assume you know EXACTLY THE TRIBE of this particular person.

The souls of those innocent children will hunt you, family and your entire generation. Wicked man

People who wear this kind of hair are always invariably criminals. Police should clamp down on boys wearing this hair style anywhere they find them.

They must always be profiled as criminals first and given the opportunity to prove that they are not.

Fear Kwara, they carry religion for head and good at rituals 🤷

Hmm, they should be imprisoned

Eleriibu. May God expose those involved in same heinous crime here in Lagos. People get missing everyday but because we don't keep statistical data cum bad leaders who don't care about the masses, we tend to not take this seriously. May God burst their dens around that ijebu forest where they constantly transport their victims to, for rituals killings.

It's not only here. There are several dens between rivers and bayelsa states as well. I a day I boarded a vehicle in owerri to yenagoa, somewhere at a place called world bank. The driver apparently preached to us before leaving, saying should anything happen on the road, we should please not panic. I almost ed lagos bus that day cos i don finish my meeting for owerri but felt like seeing a client in bayelsa, using the opportunity of proximity. Sadly,. All these politicians are their customers who buy human parts. Same people their gullible ers are hailing.

He will use that 10 million naira to free himself from Police just a matter of time and tell him to move to another state or town

Election material.

Hmm all these crimes just to be like Red cap young men with ishi agu clothes. Lazy people.

Work harder then u will be rich like them not mining heads nor children

Ha!
Baby factory no do una.
You still went to Kwara to steal children.
God punish you severely.

Chai!
