Good. Criminals should vacate the east

IGBO need mental revolution to play politics
If you start hating tinubu for no reason when he’s yet to become the president, I wonder how miserable your lives will be when he emerged….

Oga where did they mention Tinubu in this post?

Insecurities is becoming a trend in the eastern part of this country


Are you sure some northern power brokers ain't responsible??

I'm just thinking aloud.

Very good

I don't trust NPF anymore...


The level at which crime increases in Nigeria while we have a police force is suspicious...


I want to believe that they're doing their jobs.. but they're also spicing it up with corruption....

The kidnappers arrested here will be released if they drop something from what they've made so far ....


I've been reading so many news about how they've arrested criminals and terrorists... but nothing is heard of it after that.... Whether they were charged to court for persecution or not....

This story is Wan kain.
Kidnap is reported.
Police swing into action
Then "during interrogation ..."

Who did they interrogate?
Why?
Abi, you already had the people under arrest?

Not ipob this time? No longer ESN? I'm happy that they left ipob alone this time.

Ngwa nu, front page direct. East is boilling

Nna are you okay at all?

Zamfara is burning but the OP chose to prey on eastern region. Can you all now see how some humans can be? No one is talking about the beautiful ones who lost their lives in the northern region. To what end is all these excessive effort in searching for bad news in the east? There is something they are not telling us.

Is that what you think or what ipob told you why do we keep denying the crimes committed by us in igboland..

I'm being personal in my reasoning. Don't drag ppl unnecessarily into your assertion.

BTW, I'm not igbo neither am I living in Igbo land.

It's "living" btw and the insecurity is caused by us but it will soon be a thing of the past

Afonjakid:

Lol, I already corrected myself. Who be the "us"?

Stay your stay Abeg.

Thank you for the clarity.
You're welcome.

Hmm... This one they didn't link it to IPOB.

Rejected region again

This story sounds some how. Two people are kidnapped,immediately u stormed the kidnappers den. Does it mean police already knows the kidnappers and their location.

bng

Propaganda.

The Fulani police arrested innocent gun lovers and shooters and tagged them kidnappers.
They also arrested innocent tourists doing role play deep inside forest caves and tagged them victims.

The truth is that there is no single armed robber, kidnapper and killers in Imo state.

Malory:
Good. Criminals should vacate the east

Ipobian Malory, you know blame Fulani & DSS?

Arrested one Obinna Onuoha age 35 years, a native of Umuegwu Mpam and Igbokwe Joseph age 35 years, a native of Umuchoko Ihitte Aforukwu, both natives of Ahiazu Mbaise LGA of Imo State.

Is better than killing a human being even small children by Fulani terrorist

What can you say about this pic
