Naija and money. What is 5 Million Naira? Nothing compared to perdon's life. No amount of money is worth forgiving someone that killed the other person in a reckless manner. Very shameful screwed society
ReplyDeleteSo the woman should get a lawyer, waste endless time in court and put herself thru momentous emotional stress all in a bid to send the killer to Naija prison?
DeleteThen what will be her gain.? You are myopic
Only in Nigeria will someone get to walk free because he paid the family a token. Sad
ReplyDeleteCan you believe the family weren't after justice for their loved one but after chicken change money? Shameless people. Do they realize that the guy could have been a billionaire tomorrow if his life hadn't been cut short? Can't deal with ignorant people
ReplyDeletethis one that agreed to pay N5 million. what about the ones police people kill, who pay them? Lets be fair with all. It has happened and very painful. May God console all.
ReplyDeleteN5 million is a ok for the family to take care of some things. Some people dont receive one kobo at all.
RIP Officer. May God console your families Amen
Bullshit
ReplyDeleteRoad safety officers are nuisance to be sincere but that doesn't justify the killing.
ReplyDeleteI hope all these useless FRSC and VIO officers in my area are reading this, they will just stand in the middle of the road as if they have odeshi for motor, even when you are on top speed they will expect you to apply emergency brake.
ReplyDeleteRIP to the dead.
5mill is ok
Shouldn't a mere 5000 naira third party insurance take care of this? SOME ARE EDUCATED BUT NOT ALL ARE ENLIHTENED....
