What Two Factions?
written by Udam Ochiaghandigbo, August 29, 2012

This is an incomplete story. The headline says two warring factions and the body of the news did not name the two parties. However, it is very interesting to note how fast that moslem police officers very quickly post policemen to guide the mosques while none a posted to guurd Churches.

The last sentence should have read: However, it is very interesting to note how fast moslem police officers very quickly post policemen to guard mosques, while non are posted to guard Churches.
