Bad as it may be,our security operatives need to step up,bcos if they were equal to their task,this man should have been stopped long before this fatal incident. The report says he's a serial wife beater therefore, we could also ask why he has always escaped the long arms of the law.
ReplyDeleteContrary to what it is in civilised countries, our police will quickly tell you that no one came to report,but police in civilised countries don't wait for such reports before closing in on the offender. In Nigeria, even after reporting,if you are not ready to pursue it by paying some money or buying fuel into their fuel tanks,forget about it. And when you eventually do,you need to pray that the accused does not out do you gainfully.
