So some devilish people are still engaging in fake drug at this trying time. Truly we are our enemies.

Nigeria is a completely messed up place. Everyone is looking to cash out from any situation at the expense of people's lives. The sad thing is that we don't have strong agencies to penalize this type of people because of how our corruption has corrupted all the aspects of the country both government and non government agencies.
May God help us.
