Afonja's have been taking responsibility for their actions since 18BL..

How then can they be saints?

NewsForYou:

No. Nobody is Saint in this world. Jesus said nobody is good but what we do is we call them out or even get them arrested instead of blaming others for trying to destabilize our communities, we disassociate ourselves once and hand them over to police.
Good people, you must respect them.

Tranquillity360:
Why didn't you tag them Igboho team? Or is it only in west that crime is committed
by individual but in East any crime is by the group you love to hate.


The last time DSS went to Igboho's house,according to DSS igboho boys fought them with guns and even injure one of the DSS.We saw
guns they said to recovered from his house.



So why haven't you people hand over the whole oduduwa to police?
