Miscreants soiling the Nigerian Police Force!

We still haven't gotten over the killings of the Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem and others whose lives have been cut short by these miscreants parading as Police Officers and now, another soul has been cut short.

May God comfort the family of the deceased.

Another animalistic behavior from these nonsense policemen.

Rip to the departed soul.

that blood sucking demon and agent of darkness governor called sanwo-olu has swept Bolanle's case under the carpet just like how he swept Bamise's case.

It shall not be well with sanwo-olu and his household.

Another preventable death....

This foolish police man don go kill someone husband

Nigeria ain’t getting better and won’t get better

Just because he's Fvcking ugly and depressed..

Just take a look at his stupid, old and rumpled head☹️

Muderfucker😔

Nigeria policemen have killed more innocent people since 1960 than Hitler and Starlin combined.

This I have seen.

I know the dead guy. He was a phone dealer at Asaba.

Very jovial and friendly dude. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in their period of grief.

May his soul rest in peace. Obidients are the most pathetic and dangerous people on earth. They are still mocking people even in death because they did not share the same political ideology with them. Thank God Nigerians dodge the bullet by voting Tinubu.

I’m just grateful power doesn’t get into you guys hands, omo Nigerians for hear am, most disliked tribe in Nigeria

I came across this story on AIT kaakaki socials this morning. They said the wife is 3 months pregnant

Hmmmmm, they should just kill him na

They should stop giving these illiterates gun to carry. The only time gun should be allocated should be in cases of armed robbery, kidnapping, terrorism and banditry

Imagine not even condemning ipob miscreants killings in their sad east but nah Lagos be their problem. Bunch of bigoted people

🤦🏽‍♂️

Sad.

Rip.i was there when his mother was informed of her son bn shut by the police,but she wasn't told he was death.


Rip to him and my condolences to his family.

"Stop and Search Duty" my ass!

The only thing those armed yet untrained bastards stop to search are the wallets and pockets of law-abiding Nigerians!

It's just a hustling and extortion activity for these armed imbeciles... They are not that different from armed robbers! Infact, the only difference between our policemen and robbers is that the latter are protected by the government, just like armed Fulani herdsmen!

Policemen will just wake up and decide to pick a spot to set up checkpoint with the sole aim of extorting drivers!

You all know these things... They have been happening for decades yet it has never occured to any IGP that it should be addressed once and for all.
