What a loss! May God comfort his family.

That is too bad. Nigeria Politice is the worst in the word. Very dangerious for someone to come out to serve his people.
So sad. The security architecture of d country requires urgent overhauling. So that, it will be able to prevent crime instead of investigating crime. The perpetrators of this dastardly act should be brought to book. RIP
'sugar!' heard its a reprisal; may his soul rest in peace
May his soul Rest in Peace.
So sad that some people have sold their conscience and soul for money and power....God rest your soul.

It is very unfortunate that politics in Nigeria is indeed a dirty and bloody game.
Eehyaaa
APC knew that Nigerians are fed up with suffering and wanted to remain in power by all means, I thank them for destroying of our democracy, lying to people. We no longer have army, if not this is the right time to take over from these tyrants..
That's the consequence of all he has done....That's life...He rocked FCE,Abeokuta
Ooopps
RIP Temitope. This is indeed a great loss to Igbo-elerin community, Lagelu LG and oyo state at large. Alape descendants union would miss u
Very sad. The way we take political issues in Nigeria, it’s so sad
The bribe Collector-In-Chief which is the corrupt Nigerian Police should be held accountable for all these killings. 20 naira is worth more to them than the lives of Nigerians. They’re the worst performing police system in the world all bcos of their culture of bribery.
Can God not wipe away ALL the bad politicians and their thugs who have shed innocent blood in one night just like he did in Egypt? Oh God of creation, use Jerry Rawlings style spiritually abeg...🙅😢
This was supposed to be an election, right?
after the election I hope FG will take out weapons giving to thugs, before they start using it on innocent Nigerians
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Is this a country or a lawless banana republic? When will Nigerians stand their ground and embrace true democracy. This is not a country. Wow..Sad end for SUGAR

This is anarchy! Why would they shoot to kill him when they said APC candidate -Teslim Folarin won him 3week ago?. Or are they afraid the tribunal would upturn their rigging & decided to kill him to stop his going to the election tribunal?
