Nigeria is the easiest country where a criminal can be tracked and captured if you're serious. Just throw some money around and watch their closest pal sell them out. 8 Likes 1 Share |

"Escape from lawful custody"? Make I help the Interpool narrow it down: *if na Yoruba man, he's definitely from Ibadan...juju too much! *if na Igbo, he's definitely from Anambra...them fit sacrifice anything to the gods *if na hausa man....he must be a Kanuri Now, get their pics to a police station in these states, all over the state and you'll find them in no time. Somebody somewhere will know their families and would wanna claim the bounty on their heads even if na only 5thousand naira 1 Like |
