‘Toyota Hignlander Jeep’. It is only in Nigeria that every SUV is classified as a jeep! You said Toyota Highlander, why say again Jeep? Jeep is a car of its entirety, as well as Toyota Highlander. This is the only thing I find about this article.
Just saying

Shooting the DPO was all the incentive police needed to declare war on the suspect. But, did the deceased go to a drinking joint armed with a machete?
