@sirCameo

He should have come voluntarily and embrace peace. Arrest could have been avoided.

@blakraz

Can he be transported to Panti in Lagos so he can be dealt with accordingly? I am asking because I want the most powerful form of torture for him and I don’t want him to be comfortable in your custody!!!!
