6 guys, 22 laptops? Something is fishy. I don’t support crime but I lost my faith in anything that comes out from naija police

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


I am now finding out some of these people are innocent, where I am one of the biggest second-hand laptop sellers and his two boys have been arrested for Yahoo Yahoo because they refused to give the police bribe. I know this man perfectly he brings laptops from UK and sells them in Nigeria. First they trend criticizing him last year for putting drugs in the laptop when they had no evidence a year later they now criticize him as a fraudster

22 laptops...5 boys....they could have use those laptops to set up a training school on programming or even basic computer operations.

they can even open all these waec, jamb, and other examinations registration points and make steady cash but the lure of becoming a "hushpuppy" won.

now, Abba Kyari will sew their prison kaftan

If you're into crypto mining, those computers may not be enough
It is better to believe the statement of suspected criminals than the NPF. NPF are bigger criminals!

111sunshine:


this is not about belief...the NPF may be inept, bad and corrupt but let's not change the narrative by supporting crime and still turn around to blame the police for not keeping us safe.
