"We battling #COVID19 and also SARS be terrorizing innocent citizens with reckless abandon. This happened in Port Harcourt today.

Every male is at risk of being innocently whisked away like they were kidnapped, tortured as if they were terrorist. We live and walk in fear every single day in port Harcourt because of these beasts in government uniforms".
