So many times our leaders just prove to us that they are incompetent of this job, you declared a total lockdown without security personnels on ground 24/7? Without adequate security during the day? But if it’s left for SARS they will hunt down unharmed guys. #AgegeUnrest

Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) isn’t this the best time we need your services and expertise in the country? At least, the Young Nigerians you run after on the street are all indoor #AgegeUnrest @PoliceNG

Robbery around amao, pencinema and environ. There are 3 police stations closer to that area one at Elere and 2 around pen-cinema.
Are those stations not functioning anymore ? Are the security agencies on lockdown too ?#agegeUnrest— Ajao Habib (@ayodaflyer) April 12, 2020
