Ah, this case should not be swept under the carpet. Their sponsors and arms providers must also be exposed, arrested and prosecuted, too. They might be part of a larger criminal network, who have been terrorising communities in the area. They must be made to face the full weight of the law.

After today the case will go off the media radar...

They belong to the class of 97 percent and their patron is the C in C of Nigeria ..

I didn't mention anybody's name ooo ...
