What a disgraceful way to die.
It's not commonsensical to die as a Nigerian and still miss eternity.

Crime does not pay. See how they ended lives now

Good news

I hope they are truly armed robbers?

I have read a lot in the last few weeks of #EndSarsNow and it is difficult to believe any police account.

Never trust Nigerian police officers. Let's hope they are saying the truth this time around

One thing that comes with influx of population is increase in crime. The state security agency needs to prepare herself and recruit more personnel.
One thing I support in life and always support is DEATH PENALTY for any type of arm robber even if the persons arm is catapult because he or she came with intent to kill

Na my ogbe before, ugwunakpamkpa, isiokwe, ogboye, back of Washington, Emmanuel church all this area was very bad between 1996-2001. I was robbed many times, I used to trek from woliwo to ibekwe str.. Thank God I was not killed

Is not possible for a thing like this to happen in Anambra. It was in Ibadan it happened- Chinedu the IPOB member from Oyigbo
