Look at them, I wonder where they get such money from to fund their nefarious activities

God bless the officer, we still have honest police officers

GOFRONT:


If Nigerian Govt decide to round them up for a firing squad just like it was done to the Congolese Kuluna, you would hear same Nigerians start to shout, No!! Say no to jungle justice......"This is inhumane", "where is humanity conscience" "They should be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society and recruited into the Military

Now even the Op has the capability to protest against outright execution of this dreaded white beardes old men here........Now ask me why did I say the Op has d ability to do so.........Can we all see Op has tried his own little way to Blurr their faces to evade public view? But why?? Why cover the faces of evil men who are not fit to live among the living??

Expose anything exposable about them and you are here trying to accord them some privacy by blurrin their faces........Even those Jalabia or whatever Kaftan their wearing should be ripped...............But No.

una see now ba

KevMitnick:
The police has come under intense scrutiny in the past couple of days by both the Nigerian lawmakers and Amnesty International. I'm not surprised to see a news like this with an attempt to launder the already battered image of the NPF. I expect to see more news like this.

Lithiumite:
That's why they have refused cashless policy,NIN registration,tax reforms,BVN.... anything to allow govt capture the activities of all citizens so as to easily monitor movement of illicit funds.....how can you do business of 5 million with someone and he tells you to bring cash in this modern age,that's how illicit funds go around for nefarious activities....we claim they are illiterates and they can't accept change.....we will keep on battling this menace forever.

I support cashless 100% and tax reforms so we get everyone captured and we know what everyone earns...... security agencies should arrest and consficate any cash found on anyone in excess of 50k at a time.

Yestogood:
I agree in totality, but 50k is too small. It can't fill my Camry muscle tank. For the sake of petty cash transactions, 500k is a better benchmark.
