      We really have an abundance of illegal firearms that are used in the perpetuation of these crimes. We are unaccustomed to this level of criminal activity and it is adding to the already nervous tension all around. Government must act fast and see to the installation of security cameras as this would go a long way of deterring these criminals. Out there is savage these days with the amount of illegal guns all over.

    As i said before, if we continue to hold back information from the police, things like this will continue, because a lot of us know people who are in criminal activities, but not saying anything unless we become a target as well…

    Condolences to the family. We need to organize a nation cry for peace. We need to send a message to the young people the guns and knives. With all that’s going on, people let’s get together and stand up for our youths them.
