orjikuramo(m): Lemme just be looking but don’t be fooled, these ones can do nothing than to join the long list of individuals that believe they are superior to ordinary or bloody civilians. Not even sure these guys will survive the cultists enshrined areas like ikorodu, agege n co, last last, they will either join agberos or become useless. Nice uniform anyway, *the guy didn’t want is face online (I sincerely understand)

Maximus85(m): Will criminals be scared of these neighborhood cops?

Princelegacylemoha(m): Very Nice initiative. But Without Arms how will they survive Agbero and notorious gangs. If they don’t have arms , they should better not wear uniform. Let them act as secret service and in formats. To either mobile police , Military or the Para Military.
