1k times my lawyer

I thought i will see igbo names but i was utterly disappointed

They should grant them amnesty as they're doing to bokoharam terrorists and Useless bandits. Let them choose any university of their choice around the world, let the federal government or state government sponsor them. I think what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Nemesis caught up with them

God bless Sony interactive entertainment ;God bless the United States ;God bless Nigeria ;God bless Kogi state; God bless the good people of Okene

Naija

There's no gain in evil...

Nawa

Rogues and criminals are the lords of Lagos.
Criminals everywhere!
That's what they learned from Tinubu

They are not criminals. They are bandits and deserve some rewards too from the government.

So even old mamas don dey play game?

Na wa o

These devils should be locked up and the keys thrown into the lagoon.

BTW
When w the media show the faces of the fulani robbers arrested in Abuja in two full golf cars loaded with guns heading to God knows where?

Thank God none from South East or South South and no Northerner . All are Tinubu's touts. Election has come and gone , they are now occupying themselves with armmed robbery .

same here bro.
Because it's what they are Known for.

they should also channel this effort In the fight against bandits, this feat is highly commendable and will be more appreciated if the security agents unravel the government people giving guns to herdsmen according to the herdsmen or bandits, better put.

All this tribal idiot will still pack here, especially the paid miscreants

Incomplete news.

The only news break I want to be hearing or reading about kidnappers, armed robbers, cultists, rapists, all criminals is "SO SO SO HAS/HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND EXECUTED IMMEDIATELY", that's all.


No criminal should spend the next hour after being arrested.

Mr cultist, this comment is as useless as cultism

Good riddance.
The Oba of Ikorodu, some high placed chiefs and the notable politicians from ikorudu division are culprits.
One of the Oba’s son, Jim Benson ( Ikorodu Federal Constituency) SOB Agunbiade ( Majority leader LSHA) are known cultist godfathers in Ikorodu and environs.
They will soon facilitate the release of these ones as usual.
If the state government wants to be serious about this, the aforementioned people should be questioned about the activities of these criminal gangs.

Lyrics269:
I thought i will see igbo names but i was utterly disappointed

Because all those mentioned are Igbo dominated areas abi ?
Wait till when Amuwo, Oshodi-Isolo and Ojo LG area lists are out.
These criminals are everywhere.

Ikorodu at it again. You almost never hear great news coming from that axis except news related to cultism, violence and thuggery.
