Yoruba, Arise and Defend Yourselves!----Concern Citizen

I strongly call for sack of the south west governors for their neglect to secure lives and properties of the citizens living in the zone.

The height of insecurity was the action of the suspected members of the Avengers militants who left their zone of south south to come to Lagos state in south west, at Isaho, Ikorodu, Lagos state to be precised to come and kill over 50 innocent Yoruba citizens over nothing.
This is the height of it and the drum for civil war has just begun!
