Haha i thought they said, if the police are contacted they risk losing him, and that is exactly what they did. Infact miss Linda Ikeji now publicised it.

security and welfare are the primary responsibilities of govt towards its citizens. when a govt fails to perform its duties, then it becomes imperative for the electorates to change such govt through their voting power in the coming election. it's your choice. the ball is in your court. vote for change in 2015.

Exactly!! This was bad judgement. You said they said not to involve the police or risk loosing him and you write about it, stating that the police is investigating it. Hmmmn
