Law without solution

Hmmm

They want them to die of hunger. Uselessness at its peak.

Law without solution

it is also a law of wickedness.

Did they just say 188...

Unless the police stole them after they impounded them cause I was around ikeja alst week and four 30 tons trucks were filled with motor bikes and from my calculations from just this single venue where I was first hand.


I'll say between 300-600 bikes were seized cause about four trucks were filled.

How this diminishes in official reports to 188 is what baffles me.


Korruption
