“The regrettable attack happened at about 15km away from the rally venue. As earlier stated, the SCID will take over investigations towards apprehending and prosecuting the attackers.”
Bola Tinubu tugs are at work, I thought they said that Labour party does not have structure, why attacking them?
The out come of the presidential election will shock you guys
This is getting uncivilized.Your right to support a particular campaign ends with where other people’s rights begin. We should say no to hate.
May God give us better person in Nigeria
Tinubu’s thugs situated along the Lekki Peninsula are some of the deadliest in the state. Armed to the teeth, they have often held residents to ransom. We all remember #EndSarsNow, don’t we? Who really dunnit then?
Since the commencement of political campaigns, they have been threatening the residents of the area with fire and brimstone if their Fada fails to become the next president of Nigeria. They also made promises about how business houses will be razed to the ground. The Police should do a research and stop sitting on their hands. The threats are becoming heightened, as we draw closer to the elections.
Over the decades since the demise of Old Maroko, the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police had looked on as those thugs spawned and grew stronger and bolder.
Before they became Boko Haram, they were the political thugs created by the APC’s vice presidential candidate, Shettima, to enforce his will over the people of Borno State where he was once governor. Tinubu’s are just one step away from becoming a permanent threat to the peace of the country. I hope that the world, particularly the nations of the West, are watching. They know who these thugs’ Fada is and the desperation behind his drive. They say the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
Thank you so much for this information. I hope the world read this as God won’t allow tinibulation to happen in Nigeria
