Your Excellency at this point am forced to pen this letter cause this Curfew at 7pm Is a terrible disaster that will soon become an issue of violence against security authorities who have now turned the Curfew to Cashcow which the use to extort innocent citizens.
Deltans now Pay the minimum of 30-40 thousand naira to be bailed from police. The level of brutality against the masses is on the rise.
