Public affairs commentator Mahdi Shehu has criticized Nigeria’s security agencies following a viral video that shows armed bandits openly filling their motorcycles with fuel from a tanker.
In a post shared on X on Saturday, along with the video, Shehu expressed his astonishment at what he described as the increasing boldness and confidence of criminal gangs in the nation.
“Don’t be surprised if next time they take over a filling station, refill 300 motorcycles over three hours, and do so unchallenged because the drones and surveillance would have been busy identifying the hideouts of internet fraudsters,” he wrote.
