I remember when I warned here that electing Buhari for a second term will open up the era of if Wardom where Warlords ruled over large swathes of lands ..in Nigeria today most swathes of remote lands are now under the rule of one local warlord or the order ..ladies and gentlemen this is failed state 101

Nigerians once they pick a new habit is hard to stop.

The truth is that, the bandits will be more afraid if the people rise up against them.

Justice is constitutional.

Repentance is a religious connotation.

I understand their pain.

Our security is largely compromised, when you kill bandit,they tagged them repentant bandits and immediately, the killers will be apprehended but when bandits kill they are untraceable. Is the country not finished

The police should arrest the police for failing to prevent the bandit from killing people...

It's wrong to take lives in any form but the police and government have themselves to blame...
If they were effective in their duties... There will be no bandits in the first place and there will be nobody to kill bandits who have repented....

May God save this country....
As our nation marks another year today... May it get better and above all... God abeg... No allow any Nigerian go hell especially those wen dey do good....
Being a good man in the present day Nigeria is more than the original hell...

However.. Ha devil go punish the following set of people...

Cultists
Yahoo boys
Kidnappers
Violent agitators
Terrorists
Insurgents
Corrupt politicians
Corrupt public servants
Ritualists
Rapists
Armed robbers
And everybody wen dey hurt others... E no go better for them....

Nigeria must be great again.... Amen

How can a bandit be repentant what does the law say about banditry. So I can become a bandit today and wreak havoc, tomorrow I will say I've repented. That's bullshit. A bandit must face the law repentant or not.
