OLIVER Ezra was brutally killed for nothing. He was driving alongside the executive chairman of Lau LGA between Lakaviri and Jalingo. He was unarmed, innocent and calm. 

Nigerian Police brutality has continued unabated! Instead of them to dealt with the rising criminal element in the society, they kill innocent Nigerians. The police authorities are quiet about the rising criminality of the police on our roads and other public places. Most of our officers are Drug addict and work under th influence of illegal substances.
