expenses. But when Osuaya

#watching from a mango tree.

People have to be careful what they do today. Those same people you do evil things with will be your downfall tomorrow. If such a case exists his appointment should be recalled and he should face trial. Murder has no statute of limitations. I also hop Buhari looks into the OAU murders of years past

Well,since there is no sauce,there is no taste.
Mayb its just an ordinary write-up.

No proper evidence not all the petition is true if the petitioner have a witness she should go to court.

If the story is true, he should be sacked with immediate effect. People should learn to be nice to one and another
