police is among the insecurity in Nigeria
What a corrupt police we have in the country. They must have collected money from the yahoo guys so as to give them the informants name, those police officers should also not go free.
TOO BAD
Why can’t police officers involved in this kind of act be prosecuted and convicted with death penalty? Until these kind of things start happening in this country, the fight against insecurity and corruption in this country will continue to be a mirage. The Police is one of the greatest challenges to fighting insecurity in this country. I pity for this country!
That Nigeria is fighting insecurity today is because of police
In security outfield the sources of information must be protected to hear more from informant.but these days police are the double agent,two faces over crime and the achitect of insecurity in the country.
