SKULL miners making headlines for the WRONG reasons

These guys go stay long inside jail without trial for a very long time

Even though I don't support the burning of police station, what about about the oloriburuku that killed the deceased? Won't the magistrate sentence him to death or life imprisonment? Abi ewo ni katikati.

Hope you can see your brother on the list bolded?

This ones don buy market

It happened a few days ago and they've been arraigned already! Very good. That's how the police ought to do their job, not bundling hundreds of suspects to jail and unnecessarily increasing the prison population for many years to come when those rioters could be convicted within 2 weeks and given a jail term of three months and they resume normal life.
Our judges need to start reading news stories about how judges in developed countries handle cases like this, concluding trials within 1 week, sometimes, within a day!

Innocent people are there.. Make God save us for naija

24 innocent people and 4 nearly guilty

make them leave them jare

Sars killed one of those guys, they took law into their hands by burning the police station.

don't mind that mumu

Many innocent will go down.... this is 9ja. If u know u know

I guess the youths doesn't know that two wrongs don't make a right. No matter how frustrated you are or cheated upon, you still have to follow the due process to fight for your right. Jungle justice is never ever and can never be a solution to any problem.

use ur head.

Tochukwu must’ve been the mastermind

Yorrobers again

This is very pitiful.
I remember when the incidence occurred, these people were hailed by everyone!

Now they're facing prison sentences, where are those people to come to their aid now?

Come to think of it, if the police station had not been burned down, their voices would not have been heard.

Lass lass sha, use your head well ooooo.
If you must fight the government, fight wisely. Because, the government can come back at you and those who hailed you will be the ones making mockery of you.
Just look at the comments above me for instance.


PS: wasn't it after this incidence The VP gave the order to reform SARZ


They should let these people go Abeg!
The fought for a right course.... Just used a wrong approach!
