This people should be tamed abeg. The govt should kukuma release their leader haba he has stayed there forever

This could have been averted if only the FG allowed the Shite leader bail. This is no will of God like some persons will paint it to be, it only shows failure by the FG by not adhering to the Rule of Law.

So sad😢

A very brave Corper journalist! He must not die in vain. Shame on all those sit tight, fat, greed, brown envelope longing journalists veterans. They must all give a salute with their brown envelopes raised above their heads to their own shame.

These are dangerous times to be a journalist in the line of duty in Nigeria. Journalists are confronting a host of occupational hazards and even risking their lives to bring information in the public domain. Sad news.

Honestly Nigeria is driving towards a big tornado both parties should know that peace is everything.

When will all this killing stop in Nigeria. Heaven help us all!

So sad, this group should be proscribed joor 🤷🏻‍♂️
