He further warn those that encourage jungle justice to desist from it that no one has the right to take the life of a fellow human being that instead such a perceived offender should be brought to the nearby police station for proper investigation.

MODs, this is for you. Verify any news before you bring it to front page.

Meanwhile can anyone please tell me how to get the complete list of polling units in the country.

The audacity to attack innocent people both at their home region North and South is why I don't feel any pity whenever they're attacked by bandit or BH. Very heartless and barbaric people. Islam did a lot of damage to Northerners by making them violent and fanatical with no exposure and civility. Spits

madridguy:

Amen.

Unfortunately, it's Christians in the north that they usually attack.If those yeye terrorists attack mosques as frequently as they attack Christians, they(Muslims) would have jointly fought BOKO Haram to a standstill

Okay. The attempted murderer doesn't have a name and ID again . He's now a mad man. All that excuses for aboki. If the victim had died we would read he's a foreigner. Every goal post must be removed to exonorate them by our one Nigeria police

But a crime was still committed and the offender should not go unpunished

So the attacker is now a mad man because he is an aboki?
Injustice is what will finish this country

Sure.
