Reactions as bandits kill palm wine tapper
@ahilekashami stressed:
"As long as president Tinubu has not come out to give a direct unambiguous order to our military to neutralise , apprehend and prosecute every last terrorist on Nigerian soil, and within a given period of time. Then we are not fighting terrorists. It's beginning to look like this government loves Terrorists more than its citizens. Nigeria is just sinking deeper into the world of terrorists while our government does nothing but beat around the bush."
