This is not a thorough reporting as the whole reports sounds not understandable.

Hope a clearer report can come out.

So much trouble everywhere in this nation.Guess it is the new police SWAT?

And the people were waiting for Eastern Security Network to deploy their remote controlled rocket propeller against the police officers but they were no where to be found.

We need a brutal, deadly and very bloody revolution in every part of Nigeria. Civilians versus politicians and army/police. When everything scatter, and all politicians are taking out, including police and soldiers standing on our way.

Imagine in this time and age, make DISCOS still dey bill Nigerians base on estimated billing, yet, in the contract it was stated that every Nigerians must be giving a prepaid meter for free. And yet, we get president o and also representative in the Federal and state House of assemblies.
