Don't stop at denying. Get to work because the criminals were not apprehended. Terrorists are in your corridor. Nomenclature isn't the problem. Make Edo Too Hot For Terrorists.

'Bandits' are Fulani terrorists brought into the country by Buhari's APC

The government is now spokesperson of terrorists. Nigeria!

This is how everything gets out of hand in Nigeria. The govt will keep denying and feeding the public with lies until things gets out of control. Edo people WAKE UP! That is also how hoodlums will attack in Soth East and the govt will tell you it's IPOB/ESN

Only Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic will save us all.
