Most of these young dudes in Nigeria nowadays are venomous Snake. Everything looks scary in Nigeria now because everybody is walking on time bomb. Looking at these young men, could you ever have thought they were capable of committing such heinous crime they had committed? This is one area where justice must be done to serve as deterrent to others.
Evil personified. They must have been eaten up by envy each time the guy rode past on his motorcycle , and rather than work as casual labour in a construction site to raise money and buy their own “machine” these ones formed their evil” joint stock company ” to destroy their neighbor. May the long arms of the law that caught them grow longer and deal them befitting punishment. No account Abominable people. Mchweeeew!
