So sad

heard the Policeman is an Igbo Man.
Igbos do that.

Na wao

the police would distort the story later on...

Nigeria(n) Police- one of the greatest enemies of ordinary citizens.

They meant the opposite when they said "police is your friend'

Ode people..goan burn down d police station. Una dey cause hold up road

Don't believe it yet. Its a one sided story.

This story no complete.

Na wa oo

The number one problem of Nigeria? The Nigerian police force!!

Police is ur best friend

Nawa oo, what a tragic situation. .. Doing good is now seen as bad by the police? The man for kuku stay him house and allow the robbers do whatever they wanted


Your soul will definitely RIP because you died trying to save people. ..


Meanyl, we need to hear from the police too...

Ginawest i love u... Dis news concerneth me not

na work wey govt no send dem dey sabi do pass,na only God knw weda dem bath sef.

Change might happen @ the top but it will never get to the man on the street because of the endemic corruption @ the grassroot.

Policemen are the worst people to call upon in time of crises and also that mobile phone needs to be checked because of the amount of info stored in it

change as come.

I wonder d kind of training nigerian police are undergoing. Even if they want to shoot aa suspect can dey shoot him on d leg must they shoot him were he will. Die instantly? They should learn frm America police. Too bad RIP to d dead

I know that you can vomit trash through your anus if you keep on insulting your country securities one day your eyes go open as for me I know how much the police have helped me and I can't insult them for once because I am a good citizen not a foreigner like you

I know that they have done a lot for you, they protect u from morning till night, but the last time I checked ur brain, it still better than today's own
