This is one of d reasons the PoliceNG should be more professional in their duty and exhibiting fairness discharging their functions. Had it been they've been doing their work well and gains public trust . Everyone will always bank on them in time of distress. Those u.......

IGP is not doing enough. IPOB terrorist and ESN Bandits should not be allowed to turn South East into another North East for Nigeria. Enough of this killing and destruction

I pass that route very well on weekly basis. I honestly pray they didn’t touch one Umar guy. The dude is really nice to motorists ok that road. Very friendly police officer. God protect him Abeg

Fulani Herdsmen trying to involve Southeast and ESN. The written is very clare on the wall.

Not ESN again ? Gutter caged media

They should go and extort people in hell. Criminal police officers, all they do is extort and intimidate people.

Same PoliceNG that did not go to Zamfara where 13 cops were killed will mobilize a contingent to Enugu, not to arrest the 'killers' but to kill innocent people. Women and children.

If the Africa north decides to make their region unsafe for the masses ,Africa south should not make theirs unsafe as the masse will suffer from insecurity
