Police release Keyamo, insist on theft charge
SAMC...@aol.com
A civillian lawyer walks into the the police station and grabs a case file?
Who was in charge of the Archive Section? Chei, nonsense upon stupidity? So,
the logical question to ask is, did the police know about the criminal case
against the Tinubu Lipputian 419 Senator? Why was the Lilliputian not been
arrested?
No wonder the OPC and the Egbesu boys have been kicking the ass of the
Police. Good for nothing misfits.
Look at the yeye police filing charges against Keyamo instead of hiding in
utter shame.
We need more of the Keyamos to ramsack the police vaults.
