Kudos to the delta force for a job well done.

I no understand this write up, looks like a setup to cover some illegal job done.

NPF


You have the cordinates of Fulani Terrorist murdering innocent Christian farmers.

When will you go and shoot them up and recover all those Okadas, GPMGs and kidnapped Nigerians.

Or are you allergic to arresting Fulani Terrorist. Is it forbidden for you to also shoot them dead the same way they murder innocent Nigerian Citizens?

Good one though,

but many people don't believe in NPF because of their biased way of handling crimes

God the good people of the NPF
God Bless the people of Nigeria ��

Nigeria police can't never impress me no matter what they do.

Their illegal extortion and not abiding by rules of law is a turn off for many Nigerians...

NPF try this time around..

Naija my country....crime everywhere

Good

exactly. To even declare 200k, could be more than that.

Why can't they use same spirit to arrest fulani terriorists up north?

Everytime police want to kill, they will come up with the story that the robbers on sighting the police, opened fire on us and our gallant officers responded with superior gun power to nutarize them' why cant they do same to terriorists?
