        Can see why our investigations are so poor. All the operatives using bare hands to open drawers and count cash. Fingerprints? Evidence?

        They are not experienced. That's the problem. Even if you were to get fingerprints, the country doesn't have sufficient user data

        That is why they want @mbuhari to die so that they can continue their robbery. Kudos Pres. Buhari.

        Why are Nigerians not ready for evidence if it's connected to Goodluck. Why do we need evidence when it's Buhari?
