To be factual, NPF are really improving on daily basis but most Nigerians are ungrateful because they see the Police as the enemy of the masses. Though it evident that sometimes the police behave badly but let always appreciate the good work the are doing.
God bless Nigeria Police

Na only them come

It must be them again.......who noticed how that guy take pose for the 4th pic

I know many innocent people will be among cos I have once be in a situation like this. Bt God vindicated me

belindar:
Politicians who stoke and still stealing money should invest the money in Nigeria to provide job for people instead of keeping it in a bank abroad which the bank overseas give as a loan to its citizens thereby making fool of us

guy stop saying that how do you expect to help that guy carrying bag of weed, a hardened criminal

JayJohnson:
Can you imagine what this yeeboos are doing in Lagos? See their flat head! Work, dey no go work, na to thief dem sabi
Evans brothers dem

We all know yolubasss are thief....

Ask shina Rambo.......lolzzzz

Good job.
But the real thieves are our politicians

I'm almost certain that more than 50% of these 76 guys are innocent yet they were paraded as criminals and also humiliated. This is one of the many problem with Nigeria Police....they can be too unprofessional and overzealous while discharging their duties.
Imagine what the innocents among them are passing through right now not to talk of the aftermath consequences on them
