What a wonderful site to behold .. just that they might just get 6 months or 1 year .. and they are out again with t new format that they received from inmates...

Well done guys.

The most active agency in the country. The army too are gallantry executing their duties ... wishing you all God speed!

May the right hand of God fall on all criminals destroying the image on our nation amen

Banks too are not helping the issue ... effc needs to put a tight squeeze on the banks in Nigeria

The most notorious is zenith bank followed by sterling bank. They make it easy for these criminals to flourish. Something needs to be done to discourage it...

If as an individual I am able to figure all these things out, I will be constrained to believe the powers that be know too but look the other way.
