With what I am seeing online with #OgunUnrest, Nigeria can’t contain the spread of #COVID19 if it is to blow up in this country. Thanks to the useless C-in-C who can’t protect his people. Internal protection 0, external failure. What is all this now? Buhari is a punishment to us.

The reality is right here in our face. Our worst fears are beginning to manifest. This #Lockdown would bring about an increase in crime. Hoodlums would capitalize. #OgunUnrest is a testament to this fact. @PoliceNG need to do more to protect the people while we #StayHome

The authorities are aware of what is going on in Ogun State. They will respond not only in words but with sustainable action. I believe the situation is being examined and action will follow. Do keep reporting. @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU @frankmbablog @AcpIshaku #OgunUnrest
