And i said it before, the police cannot expect us to give them information when we have unresolved matters with them. We dont trust them and they are not different from these shooters so we aint saying nothing
If the motive wasn’t theft then it would be really interesting to see what it was. Condolences to the family
Another Friday 13th disaster by some undesirable. Leave people with what is not yours, buss up a sweat and earn for yourself.
No cameras around, no police presence at nights, poor poor representation by Cutie Benjamin…no innovative measures in place to fight crime…
The police always asking for public assistance. Get up off you all asses and go look for them. Whatever happen to police patrolling and protecting the people and taking the illegal guns off the streets. People protect yourselves, business and loved ones and look out for your neighbors because these hoodlums care nothing about the life God has blessed us with. They taking people’s lives as if it’s theirs. It seems like law and order is out the door. May God help us all.
The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police and government solve crime
Solar powered street lights, fu ppl go thief the battry an them again, get light that work with current
More light that use current
The battery will be up at the streetlights top area and not the dumb none engineering mistake the APUA electricity manager made, because all the other countries installed theirs with battery up top. And these streetlights with camera and sound and sim card equipped is very different. Give the regular technician input a chance because some of our engineers are just job entitlement and can’t actually do any work, just family and political connection.
These ministers travel all over the world to major cities, see the type of infrastructure and security measures they have in place yet don’t come back with any ideas or solutions that will help improve or safety and living aconditions
