These names are fictitious and probably compiled by the fulani jihadist police to smear our image.

Abiama knows we are peace loving people always interested in our business and we don't have business with firearms.

As for now, we don't have an idea on what to do but let's wait for another live broadcast by lamidi cownu on this so we know what to do about the jihadists.

Yeah, 30k is such a big money. Mine is even far less than that, just 5k.
