@DaddyJeeHoe: “The fear Nigerian police instill in youths is too much. Imagine living in fear of those meant to protect us.”
@badablestarlove: “Omoh, the evil in this world is too much. This is heartbreaking.”
@mrcleanthing: “Why was he running? The police shouldn’t be blamed for this.”
@SFM101_: “What exactly is the function of POLICE, EFCC, and NDLEA? Why are they raiding student hostels without warning? Who has the authority to carry out such operations?”
@kingkhone4real: “Why take such a drastic step just to avoid arrest? If you’re innocent, there’s no need to run. Rest in Peace.”
@saintzeez: “Why were the police even at a school hostel? People blaming the student are acting like they don’t know how the Nigerian police operate.”
@FredMorgan29671: “Police, soldier, or army—nothing on earth will make me run from a force officer as long as I have nothing illegal on me. Worst case, we settle at the station. Why risk death over an encounter with the police?”
