This is crazy country, sigh, how can I explain to my children that 601 Book Haram claimed repentance and none of them could expose their hideout or the sponsor. No one could lead Army troop to their den. Is that a repentance?💔they was a country 🤔

Punch never call them Terrorist, it is either Bandits or Criminals. If there is Hell fire the first Media Organisation to enter it is Punch Newspapers. Let's us watch & see how they will react when the Cabal finally dump Tinubu which is a must unless God introduces a new Miracle.

It easier for the reporter to called out the Hausa vigilantee but got silent on the reprisal attackers (Fulani) but rather he chose to call them bandits. Sorry for Nigeria media

ATIKU/PDP/2023 MISTAKE PDP SHOULD AVOID north is DESPERATE to keep power There's no scientific or material proof that only ATIKU can win presidency Buhari is an alien PDP shouldn't repeat the same mistake. I know Nigeria will break up,north has done 8 years, Time for south😡😡

Gumi said Bandits don't kill. That they only kidnap for money. Where is he now
