Scientific investigation indeed!! Because a big woman is involved. If its a commoner, the police will either not act or act with extreme levity. The Nigerian Police is hypocrical, INNEPT and extremely almost irredeemably corrupt! I pray that this woman would be rescued safely.
ReplyDeleteOh no. So sad. I hope she did not draw attention to herself with an lavish party from government loot.
ReplyDeleteDad! What is this government doing about the widespread violent crime? It seems they are clueless and incompetent. How long will Nigerians continue to leave in fear when we have a government that supposed to act swiftly? It is a shame.APC is a failure and a sham. May God bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteShut your trap if you don't have anything sensible comment. I guess it was APC in power when your GEJ's uncle and Iweala's mither were kidnapped. Maybe you were in the moon when kidnapping became a booming industry under your GEJ while looked the other way
