NIGERIA?? I weep. @opetodolapo @nigeriapoliceforce I know y’all won’t do anything about it including other security agencies we have in this country just like the many complaints you’ve received from my fellow Citizens of this Country Nigeria??...@falzthebahdguy@official2baba @charles_okocha@iam_emoney1 @crazeclown@davidoofficial @ubifranklintriplemg@soundsultan @davidoofficial
I know you guys can do something about it, it’s heartbreaking that citizens of this great nation live in fear everyday, not fear of been messed up by armed robbers, but fear of been killed or extorted from by the same people assigned to protect us. #EndSars#ThisisNigeria #heartbroken ?
