Nigeria cann0t be better

@iamRichyPerry: Police harassment and brutality can never stop in Nigeria. They are not being punished, decommissioned from service or face any consequences in anyway else why does this keep happening despite the media reporting and attention. Catch them on recording they get to go on a break then reassigned to a different unit, harassment continues.
