@Kometopapiii
I will soon arrest you, you this criminal. You cannot be responsible for even a small amount of money which is less than 500 million naira that we contributed to your NGO but you are causing disturbances all over Abuja in the name of protest. Just fool yourself, you have to go to jail soon

You’re bound to get arrested, just enjoy the moment while it lasts
