So terrible and painful, I pity the dead man so so much. May his soul rest in peace 🙏
This is so terrible and painful, I pity the dead man so so much. May his soul rest in peace 🙏.
How can his soul rest in peace when justice is not seen to be done? This is why we have always preached peace and vehemently condemned violence and lawlessness. It is wrong for people to always take the law into their hands. This is a whole citizen, a family man, somebody’s dad, somebody’s husband, somebody’s son that has been killed for a flashlight that is not worth anything.
May God Almighty have mercy on mama Salone.
This is so disastrous how would you beat your own brother of the same town with stick and cutlass for a mere touch light the should have reported the matter to the police before beating him
