He should be stripped off that uniform and put behind bars forever. Just killed a soul because u have a gun. Nigerian police needs proper scrutiny!
ReplyDeletePeople just kill for stupid reasons
ReplyDeleteSome people just think they can get away with their unruly behaviour. No way, if the american officer got away with his, u will never, okpe.

I dnt like dis guns I see dis guyz carring abot but I thought dey r not suppose to carry it outside d station after work hour? Dat means it's an intentional n meditated act, he shuld be sentenced to death for attacking n killing a defenceless civilian. Stupid man probably he felt threaten by d graduate, may his soul rip.
