Rochas has committed a crime against Owerri people, and the world must shed light on it. This is the most dangerous man in Nigeria

It maybe a coincidence, but notice the number of deaths by police and army since Buhari’s return? Rochas has blood in his hands #Owerri

I’d write about yesterday’s events in Owerri but I’ve already said everything I think needs to be said about Rochas.
