China and as such; there was no reason for his unjustifiable killing.

found guilty of the country’s law should be prosecuted.

is done by fishing out those who were responsible for his death.

over alleged immigration formalities.
Sources said the Chinese security personnel, in an attempt to capturing the fleeing Nigerian pastor,
used a security gadget that illuminates light on him, in order to demobilse him.

the law into their hands as the Federal government will ensure that justice is done
