But you can track or trace Those bandit on Tiktok. This is the sign that all these people are working hand to hand with terrorists. They only channel their power against innocent citizens.

With this type of forensics, the police allow terrorists and bandits to roam around Nigeria causing mayhem and posts as this very guy they traced and caught did. What does this say about the police, their so-called intelligence & the criminals – patners in crime, sharing booties
