Great response from the police. This Inspector General knows his work.

Hahahahaha

Hahahahaha

Hahahahaha

A welcome development

Weldone oga IG!!!

Trust me , this could lead to revolution if not handled well

I pray to Almighty God by his mighty power to continue to be healing those that have already been texted positive for this useless coronavirus in abundance,

Good one!

Arrest them and return sanity to the society.

Better late than never. The news from Lagos is terrible. I hear about 50 boys will enter a street in broad daylight robbing, raiping people. Residents are now doing vigil

long overdue

This is long over due

Where is Amotekun when you need them?

Ha these are not fulani Herdsmen.....I get it.

I just hope they don't go there and display their idiotic manners as they mostly do.

The Nigerian police is your Friend.. Charged to protecting lives and property.. But my problem with them is that they are too slow n not smart. Some of them don't even have fuel in their patrol van�, making it difficult for them to respond swiftly to a crime scene..

Still give it up to them.. Olokpa dem

It is well.

War start oya

Police IG with brain.

Ok... let's see

SocialJustice:
Great response from the police. This Inspector General knows his work.

To the lots quoting me below- you clearly have no sense of sarcasm.

Animals...

God help us, we can't sleep at night due to arm robbers.

make una give dem more bullets and riffles oh, cos if una extend this lockdown, robbery and other social vices go surge. Boys don dey idle now, daily job no dey again, even clients dey under lockdown in Yankee... California state don extend go mid next month. Y'all be ready to protect ya personal ass. its gonna get lit if baba extend oh. na hung19 go dey now.

Hope it will guarantee maximum security henceforth

at least this one is better than the one a whole Audio CInC ordered to relocate to Benue that he refused



he had been proactive in regards and crime rates had dropped before this lockdown. I hope those deployed don't be a pain in the butt of residents of where they were deployed to because npf can be annoying sometimes

So what's the purpose and function of 'Amotekun' ?

Those guys robbing other citizens when, they should be severely punished because they are very wicked

Please Buhari don’t extend this thing

Swift response

Revolution next loading gradually.
