     Lagos state was thrown into celebration and it became a fun fare, the populace rejoice as the supreme court in Abuja dismissed Sanwo Olu's appeal on Tuesday. The people of Lagos saw it a ray of hope because justice they thought has been long buried reared its beautiful head. The ongoing case at the tribunal was a source of concern to the populace because it was clear that the judiciary has been manipulated to become the weapon of tyranny and oppression.

This is so scary,he might be a criminal on the run hiding in disguise in different Catholic churches.Below is the photo of the fake Priest attached to the letter below.More photos
