Kid like this being that evil. What then happened to those arrested before for similar acts.
Which court were they charged to? If I call one man bingo, they will start charging me to court.

Fact of the matter is this case is dead on arrival, absolutely NOTHING will happen to this young Libyan herdsman especially as far as there was a Christian victim. If you think I'm lying, ask yourself what happened to the suspect arrested for the murder of the Abuja evangelist even after he confessed that he sent his boys to chase her away but they killed her instead ? Why didn't our gallant police officers ask for the identity of the boys sent to "chase her away" ? The killing of Christians has been sanctioned from Abuja

The police should be proactive enough so as to nab the culprits before they take their victims unawares and not after the deed has been done.Who knows whether this guy was among the culprits or not.The police can just nab any fulani guy and parade him just to calm nerves.

The fall guy, he is no where close to being a Fulani Herdsman. The ones that commited these atrocities have long fled the vicinity they just need a scape goat so they won't say Buhari did nothing.
