      They have just ended their lives. They are only kids. They will lock them up in a nigerian jail and throw the keys away. It is just too sad. These is all due to poverty and unemployment.

    I hope these are not innocent hawkers who were conveniently around for arrest. Lekki, ikorodu and festac camouflage deadly robbers still at large. Yet you have made claims severally that you have caught them. Nigerian police....repent!
