They better not start doing any press wars we are not interested. Especially Dokpesi. Chop alone and die alone.

God help bring these people to justice. Until ur loved one soldier or civilian had been a victim, u will see this as politics or witch hunt. For Buhari to insist on probe tells the evidence he has gotten. No amount of distraction will stop this exercise. God is with us as a nation, either we know it or not.

Olodo I know you so much hate Fayose but just try and make use of your common sense for once.The man is covered by immunity and cannot be arrested at least until 2018.BTW arresting someone is one thing successfully prosecuting them in court is another!! Unless they have a strong case against any of them,the case would be torn to shreds.

Another drama. They will go about harassing people without proper investigation and evidences. They will make big headline, expend scarce resources on precipitous trials yet no kobo will be recovered from accused.

They have been feeding us fat with lies of how people have been returning stolen money - ask them just one name; just one name?

I don't understand why God continue giving us focus-less leaders.

I believe that they should exxplain themselves to the investigators and if found wanting, they should ALL be prosecuted or tied to the stake and shot on their foreheads with a double barrel gun. Whoever among them that believe that he is innocent should get a very good lawyer and fight for his case.


Any nincompoop that expect TonyeBarcanista to defend these men should visit Akure for a flogging session with their youths.

Bros, make them go get lawyers. I'm monitoring the whole thing and I am after justice irrespective of who gÉt served. If it turns out to be about that documentary, Buhari will be lashed. For now, let's wait till fact emerge.
