"#AbortedJungleJustice… I just save life this #ForgivingSunday Morning… This young boy was caught by area boys stealing car batteries and other items in a mechanic workshop, they tighten the boy like he-goat pour petrol on him, about to set fire on him to burn to ashes… As God may have it I stepped into the scene, introduced myself and ordered all of them to stand down their actions else everybody will go in for it…. Though wasn’t easy for them to obey me, I immediately call Police for backup, to also take away the boy for proper investigations….
God Forgiving N Merciful..Thank n Glorify Him
Happy Sunday Everyone
