It still baffles me why we have so many check points in the south, while the north is almost totally free of police check points extorting the road users.
They keep on terrorizing the southern transporters and will never disturb their northern counterparts

And their check points are mostly stationed where there are potholes or where the roads are bad.

Their presence on the road has contributed to the higher transport and logistics charges in the southern part of the country than the north. They are nothing but official agbero.
And if any accident happens around their checkpoint, they move and will never attend to the accident victims.

It's so annoying. Same with the SouthSouth


You can't move with peace of mind.

Why should there be check points in the east which is the most peaceful region in Nigeria

They are killing police officers now o people are deflecting attention away from the injustice being done to innocent families with children now made fatherless and wives turned into widows. When their colleagues pursue those killing these policemen, know that your double standards is partly to blame.
RIP to the patriots killed in active service. FG should get justice for these victims of terrorists. Visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs.

They are calling for a second civil war. Please exclude Imo state from east this time around. Even we imo people will join Nigeria government fight our common enemy which is igbo.

Pls be safe.

OBJ doesn't talk much these days. A tired old man that helped destroy this country.

.why are they killing security operatives in the South East. Whats really going on in the east.

If this is not checked early enough, it might get so messy that even those easterners applauding these killers wont be able to handle the situation.

Just imagine a society with no law enforcement agents...

The FG should strategically allow them to kill more and document it, so that amnesty international and other organizations will shy away from commenting when the cavalry arrives..

Let them enjoy this moment and feel powerful.

RIP
Inspector Austin Ugwu,
Inspector Longinus Ugochukwu,
PC Ama Ifeanyi.

These needless bloodletting and the incessant, mindless killings of law enforcement agents in the SE will still come to a head!i don’t know why people are just been cruel for no reason it’s just sad that innocent civilians/citizens might actually bear the brunt when the chicken finally come home to roost.

Pythons

They killed their people, check their names. No problem

Saint UGM the preahers

Rip gallant

I have one simple advice, Igbos should control the activities of these ESN before they become the next terror organization in Nigeria. I assure this is how Boko Haram started, they claimed to be fighting for the innocent people against corrupt security forces. They had lots of educated idi#ts too.

When police people annoy you, all u guys need is a strong protest and they will back off. Killing them will only bring in more security forces

They're talking about policemen who died in service leaving behind their families and you're saying this??
Is there any iota of sense in what you just typed now

In everything related to politics or crime, you audio warriors will always scream secession and spew tribal bigotry.
If am seun I for dey ban una for 600 years.

There was indeed a country!

Nigeria is heavily pregnant, and wetin e go born go senior the imperial Fulani expansionists.

Jobless impostor

They died in the active service of collecting 50naira from motorists and keke riders


Anyway, Resurrection212 is a cheap paid agent

Haaa... Nairaland dishing it out back to back... We never finish celebrating the SUG guy that won in Sweden, we already have a bad news at hand... This is the story of Nigeria currently... Out of 10 events in a day, at least 8 must be about sadness and tragedy... There was a country!

See what Nigeria became under your president….
Killings, kidnappings, rape, murder, banditry, terrorism, bloodshed and more bloodshed and much more bloodshed have now become a norm.
No good news again….
May GOD save us!

Please pray tell. How would Bature differentiate between Imo and Abia/Anambra/Ebonyi/Enugu?

Killing of securing forces should worry every citizen


There's is an agenda underplay
