PoliceNG OfficialFCTA This is Northern Muslims side of the story, not a report. There are 3 sides to a story, this side, that side & truth Well when I saw the name of the reporter I wasn't expecting an actual report. Seems like he went interviewing his buddies to confirm an already held opinion.

PoliceNG OfficialFCTA I didn't even bother to read it as soon as I saw the 'journalist' was a northern Muslim. And the replies tells me I took the right decision in not wasting my precious time! 🤣

PoliceNG OfficialFCTA All the names here have either been dauda, Musa Abdul etc.. No Emeka, Seyi nor uduak and you believe it is full report... Go and sit down
