Mr. Olisa Metu of PDP was alleged to have collected 400 million naira from Dasuki you tortured and imprisoned him. Rochas was alleged to have misappropriated about two point something billion naira you bombed his Abuja with Tucano jet fighter trying to arrest him. Ekweremadu while in detention in UK had 40 of his properties taken by you .  You are telling us that only 30 billion naira of about 109 billion naira your brother  stole has been recovered. Ok. Collect this 30 and kill him. He deserves death.
