What we have here is a mixed population of criminals, armed robbers, drug dealers and even those who allegedly trade in human parts.
Right now we just found the uniform of an Army man who probably may have been killed. His blood all over the room and uniform, his knife and ATM card which we have given to the police.
So this morning we are here marking all the structures that are meant to be demolished on the 26th June in advance, so they don’t tell us we did not tell them or give them enough information” He said.
