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 If this is journalism according to The Cable I will never read any article written by you again! Very biased reporting!

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

PoliceNG OfficialFCTA This looks like an amazingly tendentious report! No okada riders or actual traders interviewed!
