Cheap scam.

When you call the numbers they would start requesting for finanical support form you. They would tell you to support the Nigerian police in whatever way you can so that they would have enough resources to tackle this issue when next it occurs.

I'm a Nigerian, and I know my country so believe me when I say its a cheap scam.

Wow!

We have abused the usefulness of Broadcast. When there's a need in d future for a broadcast ppl might not take it serious.

I have deleted enuff pple because of dis. Sum1 sent me 1 yesterday. " Am cooking fried rice nd chicken ping me if you want some".. The whole BC tin is too much nd annoying

We were discussing this in the morning at the office and not two hours later, another Broadcast came on my colleagues BB that they've been rescued

Odd, I got the very same BC this morning. Was rushing to Ikoyi for a meeting so I didn't pay much attention to it. Although for most of the morning, I got d same BC sent to me by an extra 4 more people. About 3 hours later, I get this BC:

Thank God, d police attached to Oluyole Ibadan, just arrested d driver dat kidnaped d secondary school student dat left unilag. Tnx and God Bless.

So I don't know if it was true or not. And if it wasn't, what motivates people to wake up early in d morning send lies for d sake of seeing it go viral? I don't get it!!

The news/info is a complete sham. No unilag kids were kidnapped anywhere. The BC was sent by mischievous attention seekers.

I went 2 d market and left my stew on Fire Pls rebroadcast till it gets to sum1 in my house 2 stop my Stew from Burning.........: Me too sabi send Broadcast:p$

CuteTj: I remember when i was in primary school (staff school); i sneaked out, went to unilag lagoon front and i swam all day (naughty me). Anytime i see these kids, it makes me happy. So if its true, i pray they survive the ordeal unscathed.

When I was in staff school, I did exactly d same thing. When I got home, my body was itching me like crazy. Those good old days

I got d message and broadcasted it after worrying that the rumors may soon stop us from helping people in real need of help.

Then later I got this:
"kidnappers of the bus Dat left unilag wit students n was to drop dem at Obanikoro was arrested,3 of the kids found Dead. The bus is presently @ the C division police station in ilorin.
Call ASP Dapo Onikpekun on 08038166068,07054745852 for more information.
. PLS BROADCAST AS FAST AS U CAN. THANK YOU."

I quickly called the numbers and found out that they do not exist and got seriously disappointed. Dunno what people gain from such mischief, too bad.

1. Which bus plies obanikoro from unilag gate? I only know of buses going to sabo/oyingbo, yaba or bariga.
2. Which bus leaves any busstop carrying ONLY secondary school students? Did they hire it?

I got the bc as well but i didn't take it serious because the rate at which i receive BCM this days is quite alarming especially when they are trying to blackmail u into sending a certain prayer to a certain amount of people and they go ahead to tell u that if u don't send it u won't prosper in life that's bullshit

Correct me if am wrong, tot these secondary school children are suppose to be on holidays? Riding magic school buses on holidays?

Where d kids dey go??
Aren't secondary Skools on holidays?

Lordave: how come you get OVER 5000 friends on fb? I think say 5000 na maximum.

Dont know.. I saw 5009 once, then they later cut it down to 5k. I m removing some white friends though.
