Nigeria is sitting on a keg of a gunpowder.... if it's allowed to catch fire, it will be disastrous

may his soul rest in peace

Its quite unfortunate where this country is headed to

So sad

It's crazy, terrible news

This is just painful so painful !!!

Ok

The death is possibly by mistaken identity

It is very risky to move around with police men in the land of the rising sun these days.

IPOB has gone to the dogs, they have successfully turned SE into a killing field and their foolish supporters are still wallowing in denial.

SE wake up, the world is laughing at your stupidity.

Bad news for foreign investors

.

Okay, you guys should continue mourning and not find a solution to this madness happening all around the country, don't worry it has not yet gotten to your family members that's y this herdsmen, ipob, unknown gunmen, banditry shit is still happening

very very unfortunate

Condemn ipob/ESN woman..no one set fire on the roof of his/her house and went in to sleep at the same time.

UGM attack gone wrong. What a human resource wasted! A man who committed no sin.

Mannabbgrills is desperate to pin this on IPOB even though he has no evidence.


He is cursing corrupt politicians and those who murdered Chike Akunyili as if he himself doesn't do things that deserve everlasting curse.

Mannabbgrills, using your alternative monicker NLpolicewoman, to report others to mods is absurd. The fact that you have alternative monicker itself is a crime on nairaland. So, you are a criminal reporting others for committing crime..

It's really sad

Very terrible. Very unfortunate and very worrying.

Just like the many others before this sad incident, it is the fallout of failure in leadership. We have leaders who feel that driving around with a retinue of security personnel guarantees their safety. The armed forces is overwhelmed. The police is overwhelmed. Within them also some take bribes to let the bandits/terrorists have safe passage. We have roads in very poor state. Electricity nowhere. Telecom among the costliest in the world. Salaries not paid. Gas @600 per kilogram, kerosene now @400 per liter. Prices of food very high, transportation cost very prohibitive

We sincerely hope that room is not given to these evil men on the roads to kill all our decent people like Dr. Akunyili who are not involved in politics.

Sad
