Good talk @Stanley
Mr. IGP, you cannot fool Nigerians because we know you and your ploy this season and what you can do.
What is your position to the Police team leader that monitored Ekiti state election. You and your pay master cannot fool Niger Delta people.
What is so special about searching Edwin Clarke house and recall that yours contention is that National Security is Superior to the Rule of Law. Those guys were conscious of National Security.
Oga IGP many of us have been victims of your police search and harassment, Is the man above the law or were their benefits you want from him directly or indirectly?
You’re absolutely right.
