Police are now seeing how the intimidation they have been giving people especially young men around the southeast is haunting them.

Most of these UGM are keke riders, bus conductors, bus drivers, park loaders, peaceful ipob protesters then who have suffered so much intimidation in the hands of police ever since...as dem don dey armed now they are revenging but i think they should cool off because over 50 police have died now so far

When they finish killing all the police officers I wonder where those ibos cheering them will run to when arm robbers and kidnappers start dealing with them.

I wonder who are the advisers to this ESN/ipob organization.

Security Operatives have killed more people in Eastern Nigeria ten times more than the criminals have done..

Gov Wike needs to be proactive dealing with these rag-tag hoodlum UGM, push them to their place.
Very predictable hoodlums. they started from Lagos State killing security personnels and touching public properties. The Yorubas quickly got their mischievous intentions and sound them a stem warning.
They relocated to their region with same trend of operations. Now they are creeping into Rivers state.

Another observation is that they tried to cause anarchy in any state they perceived the governor is unfriendly to their warped agenda.
Ebonyi, Imo, Rivers etc.
