Oh my God these actually teared me down,sad but true that these is one major problems the citizen are bound to encounter on a daily bases,here in the u.s the easiest way to track those robbers down are gonna be by the multiple surveillance cameras attached on every single buildings whether supermarket or at even any nearest public toilet,the police here rush down to distress calls as if there mothers are affected.unfortunately we has Africans will continue seeing barbaric act like these until we start valuing lives more than money..R.I.P to the victims.

What is Mimiko doing as the Chief security Officer of the state? Busy changing party like clothes. Go and learn from Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola how security fund was raised in the state to curb the high crime rate in Lagos.

Loop or what so ever your name is, you are so foolish and idiotic to say an abominable and absurd thing like these. What concerned Jonathan with robbery incident that happened at Owo. You humand beings if one do good they will talk even if bad is done they will talk. If you don’t know what to say or write just keep your toilet mouth shut and your dirty hands from typing rubbish from the stolen phone you are using. Who knows if you are one of the rubbers that attack the banks. Vampire people God shall purnish you one by one. May the soul of the departed rest in perfect peace.
