Their bodies were taken away.
Who knows, their organs may have been harvested.
Lots of youths have been reported missing.
The federal & state government are denying, gaslighting, threatening Nigerian citizens.
Stay mad. Don't lose your anger.
Don't forgive.
I am seeing the most horrific images of children who have been attacked in a school in Cameroon. School should be the one place where children are safe. So many humanitarian crises across Africa right now.
After experiencing looting in the past few days, I can tell you people for a fact that the people you want to reach with your anti-looting tweets aren't on Twitter.
