May God deliver us from armed Robbers and Police.

returned the money to who?

Returned 0.5% and 4wrd the remaining 99.5% to their oga's. nigerias are wiser.

All the #100s collected in over a hundred thousand road block across d country, And the govt of the day would dare talk about coruption.

Why

I was expecting to see them return it like this...since they collected it like this.

But I know that can never happen. They just TECHNICALLY returned it in the news.

Bring their preeks for konking

They should be sacked if sanity is expected in the NPF

Imagine the country where a large no of people are roaming the streets searching for job yet, some people who are employed are busy greedily extorting and framing up innocent citizens for different stupid crimes in order to extort them of large sums of money and all the punishment they get is suspension?
