Pity anyone but James Nwafor.

Sad!!. Policemen who are supposed to protect the citizens, are now the ones killing them. If care is not taken, it will get to a point that everybody will be moving with arms for self defense.

Am still surprised that James Nwafor is still existing

Nawao

500,000 that's like 1k pounds



Hmm

Kudos to the governor. This is called leadership.

When will that GovernorThugnor from Benin visit the families of all the people police killed in Port Harcourt, including the recent keke rider that was shot unprovoked by a demon in police uniform?

This IkwerreBenin man doesn't care about the people he governs in Rivers state, the only people he cares about are his thugs in black uniform,he gives 20m to each family of slain thugs on police uniform.

Governor of the police,by the police, and for the police.

Look at the kids
Turned fatherless

Fear of IPOB is the beginning of sense.

That aside who are those burning down police stations with reckless abandon

Members of Ebonyi Welfare Association (Aguata Chapter),also thanked Governor Obiano and pledged on behalf of Ebonyi indigenes in Anambra state to desist forthwith from any act capable of sabotaging the stability and peace they enjoy in Anambra State.

The action of the policemen, we condemned in its entirety.....
