Aren't @PoliceNG, @rrslagos767 sick of your men killing innocent Nigerians every now and then?

Aren't you tired of covering them up more often than not?

May Tina's killers and whoever covers them up know no peace until justice is served.#JusticeForTina

16 yr old Tina lost her life to ruthless Police men on mon.
Yet again we are confronted with the harsh reality of Police brutality in Nigeria.
How many more need to lose their lived before action is taken?

We all need to demand #JusticeForTina

All she did was stand at a popular junction and she was shot by a Nigerian Policeman

It could be anyone of us, and we will not stop until we have a reform of the Nigerian Police Force

I don't want to mind my business and still be shot
