Thank you jare. 11 people without names were arrested.  Arrest no mean anything.  You fit arrest somebody now then free them tomorrow morning.  If you want stop crime, you must convict criminals.
Na conviction dey important. No be arrest. Every time ehn we arrest this person, ehn, we arrest that person, after we no dey know wetin happen to the people una arrest.  Because police arrest 11 people wey no get name, so make we begin dance abi make we give una medal.  Na world cup we for carry give NPF self. Abeg make una comot road make person pass joor.  Lawless government.
