Ok

Evan boys

Hmmm

This sounds too good to be true. Especially since Nigeria doesn't have a concrete data base to profile and track criminals organizations

If true then kudos to the police

Them for shoot those motherfuckers (kidnappers) blokos

They say that, Government is always aware of any terrorism attacks.... Reasons why Ortom is always talking down on FG because he understands that the FG knows everything about the terrorism attacks taking place in Benue State.

Lolzzz.... U went to hoodlums hide out and engaged dem in a shoot out but dey somehow all got away with gunshot wounds while the victim was rescued.. How do the police even believe these stories they make up ?

Police and lies. You see someone with blood-soaked body and bruised head, you still dey say the victim was rescued unhurt. Even if it was the kidnappers that injured him, he was still hurt.

@ComrdDRS1 see your brother handiwork ..

Thank God

Why does criminals invaded by Nigerian police always escape with bullet wounds Yet no blood stains at the scene.

I hate this "suspect escaped with bullet wounds"

Okay, what a story...

Gun battle kee Una there!

Kudos to the Nigerian police

Hm

Lucky him

Abi dem don pay ransom? believe Nigeria police at your own peril

Good..

God bless the good policemen and women protecting our lives and properties

Evans again

if the government cannot do anything against this kidnapping issue they should just share gun to everybody. Imagine if everyone has gun when you know the person you want to kidnap has a bigger gun. You will receive sense

Ok

No b small battle

The Police of our dreams.

Kudos to the Nigeria Police.
