A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves a thousand moments of regret….hmm may the neigbhour soul rest in peace oo
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm, the prisioner need to be jailed
Anger is short lived madness.
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong…the prisioner as commit a crime to be jail an innocent soul.may soul rest in peace
This is bad news
You try
Committing crime over crime instead of repent and sober of the crime that he has committed. They should punish them more.
I don’t think this can change them with what they committed, this is bad of them.
I don’t think they are woman being anymore. They should also be killed for this crime committed. So pathetic.
That’s another thing with these inmates that escaped
from prison, some of them will still go back to their old life, while some have repented in the prison.
hahahaha…stupid people who thought they were doing the police and government harm by burning and opening the prisons for criminals to escape.. una never see anything yet..where are the remaining 1,800 plus inmates? Are they not living among u people now? u people will learn ur lessons now that its not good to do unlawful things.. may God punish all the enemies of Nigeria ijn
Lesson: it’s not everything that someone sees that someone must say or talk about, I pity the neighbour anyways…. the criminal should be brought to book immediately
God help us.
Such a bad news.
Don’t let anger to rule you.
Devil uses anger to destroy God’s people.
This is wonderful and a bad story to hear
I hope all of them have been rearrested so that they will not be a nuisance in the community
