Anonymous: And d mumu Nigeria police come still arrest Dem. Instead of them to settle d matter for d house, na money for bail Dem dey find and nothing else. If na better police Dem go know say hunger dey d county and even tell d landlord make Dem settle am and give d money to d landlord and help d student with some food stuff. I am not saying what happened is good. Why Dem go arrest every tenant because of plantain? This is to show that d landlord dey hungry too. Make our leaders do d right thing and we too do d right thing, Nigeria go better.
