OBIdients, here you'll see strange accounts talking ill of the situation. It doesn't represent us. We're the nationalistic majority. Don't let them divide us. They'll fizzle out, the sons of anarchy.

Actually a joke. They were customers. Infact, Nigeria police don't have anything against them and if you have fact, bring it to the station. Like play; like play the oppressors in uniform is getting their reward. God help Nigeria

Maybe they assaulted the wrong people and they had a family meeting WonNikurè 🙄🙄🙄

Family issues

No GG & ov 2.5. FT

It was nothing serious. Just a joke...just a friendly fire exchange play between two friends Iya chukwudi (police) & MC Oluomo & his brothers (gunmen). Let's not read too much meaning into it,they will be fine.

Shettima who wants to be in charge of security has finally brought his boys to Lagos.... Now, he has failed to show then the difference between APC supporters and others

In Tinubu's Lagos?

With the guns APC gave to them during the election and the police protected them against innocent and unarmed citizens.

IPOB

Aaah

They armed them before the election.... now the election is over The weapons were not collected

Zoo everyday different story

Lagos should look out for IPOB. They have imported IPOB into Lagos from SE

Ipob style

Unfortunate souls from miserable parents/region are celebrating this already. Breaking News : This will never make your Obi become president and your desert will never have a taste of Nigeria presidency

People don't easily leave where they are introduced to lucrative business. Elections are over, it's time to face the aftermaths.

There was no such thing. In fact, they are all friends why would they do such?

Nah agbado masters fighting the so called police in their Lagos

Disreguard this fake news. Lagos is more safer than everyother states in Nigeria.

Una never see anything

Which kind country be this 😢😢😢😢😢

Those supporting the attack on our policemen are from that certain part of the country. Check their names, even the one that coin new names, you can easily detect.

Very good.

Why are you people spreading lies about our peaceful Lagos? 😠

Make all die

Family issue ..they will sort it out themselves

That's what you get when you give arms to criminals to protect your personal interest all in the name of election. They'll definitely not return the arms. It happened in the north, it also happened in the east. Politicians will never learn from mistakes.
