They should free this guy Jare, they want to oppress him because he is a Christian. Was Dss agents not present when Deborah was killed? Why didn't they act, they want to show strength here

The useless DSS like other security agencies in Nigeria, are always looking for soft points. Kidnapping has become a mega business in Nigeria: kidnappers negotiate with families of dr victims for months and d DSS can't fish dm out, but dy can arrest comedians for doing dr trade

What are the police doing about the Terrorist and Bandits.

That what they are good at ..

We no get freedom again for naija abi

This what you get when you have a heartless man like Buhari in power. DSS no longer investigate crimes but abuse people's right because Buhari gave them the power to do so. By the way, what's DSS? I thought are called SSS when did SSS change their name to DSS?
