They’ll be conspicuously scarce here. Even the few brave enough to appear will ask for pictures, pretend to investigate, and then quietly disappear. When security agents nab them, they will scream that army should go after fulanis. Right now, there is a headline about the Army storming a terrorist hideout in Anambra and recovering assorted weapons. And this is what one of them said:

psalmsjob:
I hope peter Obi will pay them a visit or put out a statement to condemn the kidnappers or at least congratulate the army or the rescued victims after all this one happened in his backyard?

I bet he will never say anything about this. All of a sudden they started this again just as everyone has started commending the armed forces and president Tinubu for the less kidnappings....it's obvious this crime is politically motivated for campaign purposes but God will shame all the enemies of Nigeria and give grace to our gallent armed force to keep destroying the plans of enemies of Nigeria.

PDPdestroyer:
Obidients will be very sad with this development

RichBoy247:
Cursed children of hate and bitterness will be sad with this news

Mexyz:
You are no different from those you're calling out. There's a thread on farmers that were killed in their farms in Borno right there on front page, I am yet to see your comment there and here you are hypocritically calling out some people. All of una na the same.


Thank God those prospective Corp members have been rescued, kudos to the Armed forces.
