This one Na bait..
I wonder wetin NPF dey do wen the robbers storm 5 banks..

tshewww

Where are the almighty state and federal SARS

If na to arrest boys walking with their babes, they will be champions.

Who will go to give any info given the track record of the police on cases like this

Medicine after death.. The only way you can stop this kind of attack is to engage those arm robbers in act and bring them down, that will put fear in other would be rubber, that is what stop the constant robbing of banks in ughelli delta state. The day arm robbers came and meet their waterloo even though they were fully armed, such as not occur again for years now. I thought the sole aim of our counter terrorism unit is for the kind of operations sometimes I wonder if people in this country are being powered by brain or something cheap. We don't need arm police men with aks on the street, we need a very efficient strike team which can respond and neutralize any threat within minutes.

Try it and see ur self in south

Medicine after death, Money that will have maintained existing APCs -armoured personnel carrier.

Governor Ahmed is one of the brightest and most proactive governors we have today. I sympathise with him on this tragedy and i pray the hoodlums are caught

give me the 5million I will buy tools and materials way I go take locate those robber

please don't forget to check my profile picture and signature thanks

Abeg this banks no get CCTV camera

And yet some people are suffering when a stupid fellow will just waste money on irrelevant things

Fulani herdsmen

Btw. This bank no get cctv? RIP 2 the dead...

���

our politicians are very greedy, you are offering 5 million to give out information on robbery? please make it 50,million to 100, million if you value the lives and ppl of that state.

lol, provide such information and become prime suspect. imagine up to 30 robbers holding a town hostage for over an hour+ and none was able to be apprehended, nor trace with all the inquipment in our security disposal. and they expect an ordinary citizen to provide information....
Nigeria security bodies/systems is totally useless lick buhari left ball.

Had it been that it is a reasonable amount, I would have contact a native doctor.

Only 5m?

I add 10m to make it 15m.

Too small. The offense requires more than that to make it competitive.

Jus 5m......una neva serious sef

Na who get mind, make him talk

see dis mumu governor, one of d worst governor in d country. if I no does robbers I wnt even say anything. nah nw him won show action. who even no maybe he exist self. camouflage governor

How much him go pay for I saw them but I don't know then

The style of operation signify those men have military training.

Those men are not mere civilians.
The government should come out and explain what happened in offa.

Those men have being engaging in fire fight for long.

Not when someone we blow the whistle FG will now claim that the money will run him mad...

5million is too small. Make it 20 million and you will get the information that will lead to their arrest.


But what was the police doing when the robbery was taking place? What of the bank's CCTV?

I feel outraged when I hear the govt describe what happened as a bank robbery because it's clearly the wrong caption , let's call a spade a spade , when 47 people are murdered in cold blood in one go that is clearly a terrorist attack and should be addressed as such ..its further saddening that Buhari has not deemed it fit to even address Nigerian on this act of terrorism against helpless Nigerians once more

so none of the 5 banks had CCTV? which kind country I dey self

police should just take the finger prints on all the cars used by the arm robbers, i know some of them must have done BVN or voter's card before.they can be tracked through that.

This is just a failure of governance/leadership. Is the governor not being protected by security agents 24hours
So the populace cant enjoy such until after the lives of hapless Nigerians have been mowed down by criminals then you come with a price tag on their heads ? Shithole country + leaders.

PMB would rather give them ransome then canvas for amnesty to be given to them. Don't think Im joking this people have killed only about 10 persons compare that to Boko Haram who has killed thousands and is about to be granted amnesty

Go and add to that 5M and buy armoured military vehicle and secure that town oga. Medicine after death. You just wasted innocent lives because you refused to protect your people. Attack on banks in offa has become an annual thing.
