Nigeria is a very lawless country and I am sure that once some calls are made to some high-and-mighty officials, the issue will die a natural death like the case of the late Dele Giwa

Important thing is to be alive, once you die in any bad circumstances in this country, you re gone. There's no hope or justice..
This case ll soon be over

For cultism and a life is already lost.
What kind of judgement is this?
