SOME WORKS CAN’T AFFORD TO HAVE BAD EGGS!!!
Even if you have those bad eggs, why should we be pointing them out and you are doing close to nothing.
We aren’t asking for too much, we are asking you to do your job, enforce the law, just that this time face the bad eggs among you!!!— Calypha (@OWariz) October 26, 2020
Police is not even friends to themselves. Serve and save yourselves first before us.

If you guys are doing your best like DPO Garba Rabiu, @AcpIshaku @Edward_Onoriode @TunjiDisu1 trust me, there won’t be a need for #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria . All we ask is just the basic of respect of our fundamental human rights and we will be fine. 1/2 #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/wyF2n2mNYw

there’s no doubt the police is highly traumatized by recent events which have rendered them largely devastated.A lot of ur men don’t even know why they r police officers,reason they r quick to shoot at innocent citizens.”Police is ur friend”so u say;but it turns out to b a fraud
