The POP man fell a victim of corruption; they didn’t intend to kill him but to recover their money, . blame the Nigeria judiciary system. He indirectly killed himself by his indiscipline. The man could have as well lost his 1.5m; no one knows what could ensue. The judiciary system is a mess. Yet, everything ends on the president table. |

lagostrendboy:The yahaya was a fraudster, plain and simple. I don't think he deserved to die but he's definitely not innocent. A similar game is being played by one foolish guy that was supposed to video/photo my wedding in January, he changed our plan a couple of days before the wedding and told me to give him the money I was supposed to use to lodge him, I sent him 20k and he promised to be at the venue before time. Wedding day came and he arrived well after we'd finished the occasion, I even gave him tfare to go back and we agreed he'll refund me. Over 6 months later, no refund. The only reason he's not in jail is because I do not know where he lives, he's a big fool. |

Barrywilly:He doesn't deserve anything, he was a fraudster. The highest I'll give his family as a judge is the 1.5m he was paid originally, fraudsters should not be encouraged. |

Was the matter reported to the Police? ...and the victim went into hiding? Is it when he thought it was safe he returned and it was then the soldier was called to rough him up? The victim should've been charged for embezzlement. It's his smartness that caused his death. As long as the Police remain corrupt.... jungle justice will be the way. As long as the military remain corrupt and I disciplined... involved in civilian matters with no consequences... soldiers will always be recruitsdjd8 |

Those condemning are all hypocrites. That's what the average Nigerian does:once they have issues with somebody, especially monetary,they invite an army friend or brother to use force to recover their money or exert revenge. Now it has gone south in this case,they are now trying to claim holy! |

adamkkk:Our court systems are slow and sometimes ineffective, people will rather go the the police to report the case and only when the police can't resolve it they take it to the court. |

So much unfaithfulness and greed on the path of many Nigerian hired Laborer's. You hired them to do a job for you, all they are after is not building a good reputation at that first impression, their pursuit will be how to milk you and probably embezzle 70% of the outcome of the deal while managing the remaining paltry 30% for the Job. |

What I learned from this story is to always exercise like tomorrow will be a war. One can never tell when these animals in uniform will test your health. They find many ways to do so. I don’t want to be found lacking on the appointed day. |

Rexymania:Exactly! It’s just unfortunate that this led to his death. And many of us have done frog jumps in the past, so it’s highly possible he was ill or had other health challenges. Na pesin wey never experience artisans bullsh*t dey blame who call soldier. Those guys can take people for granted ehhhh. 😩😭 How can someone who has paid you in full, be calling about his incomplete job, and you go silent on him? May we not be unfortunate. 🙏🤲 |

opineflu:what happened to doing the work you were paid for? If he had done the job all these would have been prevented. You think he just woke up one day and decided to involve a third party in the matter? |

Sometimes Nigerians need Iron hand to settle an issue,but it should have limit,not to the point of knocking someone till death.Right now am currently pleading with somebody that boughts items worth 600k plus during COVID-19 to give me something out of it but he refused.I have tried many ways to get it but i couldnt get anything. |
