imagine that a government man for that matter…. the level of insecurities is very poor…
Can you imagine, if a local government chairman with All his security can be killed what can the common man do. Insecurity everywhere
This is what people are complaining of, this killing is too much to bear, the government has neglected their duty which is to protect lives and properties.
Where are we heading to in this country? There is no fear anymore, the evil doers will just enter anybody’s house and commit atrocities without the fear of anyone, this is bad ooo.
Who will now save us from these evil people? They have the guts to enter a local government chairman and took him away and killed him, this is bad. God can come down to do it for us, may he sends Moses of our time to us.
What will Garba sheu say about this one, these killings day in day out is much, government should do something meaningful to stop this incessant killing in the country.
