US Marines won't have missed dis guy wit their eyes closed & both hands tied on 1st attempt. It shows hw inept d army is in precision during tactical operations. All d cash dey spend on training dese men abroad, NOTHING come out, dey only get it right when civilians r the target

I thought they said media doesn’t cover government “success” against bandits & terrorists….

Gradually turning to the man with nine lives.....

I thought they said Turji has repented

That guy should have been the main target, kudos to our Military

Another day for him

I vote for somebody from government house in Gusau tipped him off about the impending strike. That's why he escaped

Somebody that has government connection.
