ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Even the so called Boko haram terrorist that killed and maimed lives, where they sentenced to death? Rather they were cooling off in the prison. I recalled the killings too in an IDP camp, nothing was done.
ReplyDeleteMoreso, herdsmen killing here and there, not even capturing them talkless of taking them into custody Rather they were paid for killing innocent pple.
The truth is that the soldier is being sentenced to death for a different reason.Though has something to do with 'boko haram'
