There is no hiding place for the evil ones anymore. Kudos to the Nigerian police.

I blamed the woman for employing an animal as her guard. she has over 300million naira to built the house but cant employ human to be his guard.
As for the animal, am not surprised becaus their tribe loves killing and infact shedding innocent human blood makes them happy.
