“It isn’t clout chasing, their grievances are valid.
“The next victim may be anyone and that includes you and me”.

The former governorship candidate recalled some names of victims who have been killed by the operatives.
“Tiyamiyu Kazeem – Sagamu, Chibuike Daniel Dominic – PH, Remi – Osogbo, Ifeoma Agbugu – Enugu, Kolade Johnson – Lagos & many more whose names or stories we do not know.
“It’s a national problem.
“At what point does the Government
“At what point does the Government take effective action?”
He called for the prosecution of policemen who are involved in the act.
