Dualization.. what a tragedy

Vigilantes should be banned from using shotguns/rifles.
The way they shoot at every occasion is deadly. That was how one almost shot down my drone ay a burial ceremony i went to cover for a client in Aguileri, anambra state.


I told him, if you shoot down my dji drone, u go count my money cash give me!
