Which kind of country and people are in Nigeria? Our operatives are not mature and are not well trained for the profession they are carrying out. How can you just get to a place as a military personnels and you started shooting anyhow? Maybe they are sent by federal government to prevent the community youths from capturing the kidnapers. I condemned the act of unprofessional display by the military personnels.
