Afonja44:
Instead of that useless IGP to flush out all his skull mining brothers from Igbo land he is busy rigging elections in Rivers state

Na your IPOBIC brothers behead that couple.

People are evil

We live in perilous times. Always mount your guard(as Warri pple will say) the days are evil. Oh Tamara!

But why were they beheaded? Could it be their children? Could it be because of property?

IPOB terrorist

Don't arrest innocent people just because you want to prove to the governor that you can solve a case.

SO THE SENATOR AND THE HOUSE OF REP MEMBER HAVE TO CALL FOR PROBE BEFORE THE POLICE WILL INVESTIGATE, WHAT A VERY USELESS DISORGANIZATION, THEY INVESTIGATE CORP MEMBERS FOR DRIVERS LICENCE AND EXTORT 1M FROM THEM BUT 4 MURDER CASE? THEY HAVE TO BE TOLD TO INVESTIGATE. SMH

Bende is the LG I served in Abia state and I always feel attached to that place, especially when I hear names of places i've heard from other corpers serving there.

I feel saddened by such news. Why behead old couple? Why is this country like this?

Valid questions there.

Or could they have been the reason someone was killed and his people came for vengeance?
Some people can be so unforgiving

Wickedness at its peak. Why kill vulnerable people? Why kill anyone in the 1st place?

It's not Abia but Ogun state!

There's nothing you can tell me!
