Mahdi Shehu, the popular public affairs commentator, has slammed Nigeria’s security agencies following a viral video showing armed bandits freely fetching fuel from a tanker into their motorcycles.
In a post shared on X on Saturday accompanied with the video, Shehu expressed shock at what he described as the growing boldness and confidence of criminal gangs in the country.
“Don’t be surprised if next time around they take over a filling station, refill 300 machines over three hours, and go unchallenged because the drones and surveillance would have been busy identifying Yahoo-Yahoo boys’ hideouts,” he wrote.
According to him, such acts of impunity show the audacity, courage, and guts of bandits who now operate without fear of confrontation.
