This is good. Treatment first atleast, before requesting for police reports and the likes

I hope he read what was written there before appending his signature to it because the Dullard doesn't have a certificate so I doubt if he will understand the grammar in the document.

Meanwhile its easy to sign, what about enforcement, will the police obey the law?

Like Buhari, like Nigeria police.
None obeys the law.

Nice decision from the FG.

But the next hurdle will be to provide the necessary medications needed to treat these people in our various hospitals unlike the Aso Rock Clinic

That's good but proper profiling of these gunshot victims should be done...we don't want to be treating criminals ooo...


On the second thought, it will help save some lives as long as there are punishments for non-compliance from all these useless hospitals

Check your life, misery is written all over it going by your comment here. This is a good news but you still managed to show your bitterness. Don't die young just because Buhari is your president. Were you always this bitter throughout the 16 years of PDP misrule? Or, just Buhari or APC thing? Get a life, loser!
