OK. DANA license has been reactivated abi, where will they get pilots, co-pilots and all those beautiful flight attendants? IMO, they have only crossed the smallest of the hurdles in their track back to business. Who wan die, whether them go bring Indian Pilots and flight attendants remains a long-shot but I know most of the relations of their flying Nigerian staff will kick strongly against them returning to the airline.

berem: Thank God I have never entered an aeroplane ! The day I will try it I will stay with the pilots in the cockpit! I no wan hear story!!

Lwkmd

Before Marriage; endlessly. Now in marriage on as needed basis.

highlandre: I believe there are more sides to this story. I'm just wondering why they drugged, beat, bit, molested and videoed such event, all to dispossess her of money and valuables...hmmn. There definitely are more pages to these revelations.

In that case, we should not be surprised if something happens too these guys in detention uhh

gabriel74: Hmmmmm Garri and Bread Na Waoo Increasing gradually.

I wonder when the Harvard scholars will come to Nigeria to study inflation growth at its best; this government continues to play around the self-destruct button with all its policies and their aftermaths.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^'....like most of us do' ? Speak for yourself....as an adult, you should know you run the risk of buying a stolen phone when you buy from a 'friend', and should be prepared to face the music when something sordid like this is linked to your 'friends' phone.

Fact of the matter is that this so-called 'business man' (code for shyster if you ask me) had better be prepared to provide his 'friend' for questioning, or face the prospect of being done for murder himself.

Nonsense![/quote]Abi o. What stops him from asking the friend how he got the BB in the first place, why is he selling and where is the original purchase receipt? I tell you some people are so ignorant that their names are mysteries to them; they understand nofin!

So they must do a comparative increase to a loaf of bread and reduce the quality and quantity at the same time? Well I have stopped eating the rubbish they sell as bread especially the popular Agege bread.

kandiikane: What the phuck? Who is liking all the comments? Na virus?

Thoght so too, methinks the like button should reveal the person to the commentator to avoid spam created likes for all responses.

Probably because of the name, joke or juke you called it

At least we have a few policemen who use their heads and source for information on how to crack and tackle knotty investigations and this is commendable from the IPO. Most of us in the ancillary/private security know and utilize this method to get phones and even GPS to retrieve stolen vehicles. The use of IMEI and BB pins are no longer novel but thank GOD the NPF has started using this to track criminals and gather circumstantial evidence for criminal prosecution.

I am sure she ate cassava bread as that is the staple of Aso rock at least that's what we are made to believe. So expect multiple food poisoning and many emergency airlifts to germany for the political robbers while hospitalisations and possible deaths from poor medical facilities and attention, care.

JideTheBlogger: Are we that bad?

I won't be shocked if their custodian/punk is a Nigerian.

Ok

KFC all the way

Answer this question and you will know why!

Will you (as a potential sponsor) back the NTA rather than AIT, channels or even DSTV for the broadcast of anything?

in that order, when i get a third; i'll post it. Their greatness will be unsurpassed in the country's history

[size=20pt]Why Lagos alone? [/size] What about other states?

Austino2955: The pictures ar disply in my topic. Just check it out.

It is either of two things: You are not serious about selling the car or it does not belong to you. Do you call the blurred images on display here pictures?

@Op, please put up a poll for this. I prefer non-live in Maids for the obvious reason of what the eye does not see, the heart does not hunger for.

9ice!

Your girlfriend must not catch you with this your, 'in an Hotel' o....

TalkingBird: Keep some distance from you phone while sleeping ok.

But my phone is not as loud as a TalkingBird......

Our security will never get anything done using this type of barbaric torture. These suspected guys will end up implicating the next names that comes to their mind amidst the pain and anguish. IMO, these hapless suspects do not have an inkling what or whom the real sponsor or brains behind the Boko phenomenon look like.

Timijo: DON’T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

DON’T SLEEP WITH BRA
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed without it.


DON’T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged.
Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.

DON’T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

DON’T SLEEP WITH OTHERS’ WIFE/HUSBAND
You may never wake up again.

I use my phone for wake up alarm, so I cannot do without number 3 except on weekends.

ghettodreamz: Abeg, make una post better thing.. Any married woman who got herself involved in an extra-marital relationship, let alone a younger guy who is their son's or sibling's age mate would definitely see beyond what she'd bargained for. You can't eat your cake and have it at the same time, no risk no gain.

This news says 'Target', which is defined as 'something or someone fired at or marked for attack'. Most scams are careful orchestrations appealing to the soft spots of would be victims. If you carefully read this write up!

How fraudsters target married women in Lagos

THE gruesome killing of Cynthia Osokogu, the only daughter of Maj.-Gen. Frank Osokogu, (rtd) by two undergraduates on July 22, 2012, in Festac Town, Lagos State, has highlighted the frightening danger behind befriending strangers on the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, e.t.c.

Investigations by Crime Alert into the web of criminality associated with social networks revealed startling cases worse than that of Cynthia Osokogu. Such cases, unfortunately, involved mostly married women who out of adventure or deprivation, got engaged to male friends on the social network only to end up being photographed nude.

Checks carried out in and around Lagos revealed that those that befriend the mature women are usually young men who capitalize on the naivety of their victims to lure them into hotels or exclusive guest houses where they would end up being drugged. After which photographs of their nude encounters would be recorded and used to fleece them off millions of naira.

Many of these victims, over time, have found it increasingly difficult to confront their blackmailers for fear of having their nude photos posted on the internet or having their clandestine activities exposed to their husbands. Those who braced up to the challenge by damning the adverse consequences to lodge a report to the police always insisted on holding it close to their chests. They pay the police handsomely urging them not to reveal thier secret.s

Police sources who took part during investigation of some of these cases told Crime Alert that some of the suspects arrested during investigations of these blackmail cases were young men who were formally into internet fraud commonly known as Yahoo Yahoo. They reportedly resorted into blackmailing and robbing innocent unsuspecting social media users since internet scams became difficult to reap from.

*Hotel where Cynthia Osokogu was strangled to death

Sources also added that these cases are common within Festac Town, Satellite Town and Amuwo Odofin areas of Lagos State and they are perpetuated in hotels situated around obscured parts of these areas, the source who craved anonymity, stated.

It was discovered that most of these crimes are usually aided by some staff of the hotels where they are perpetuated. These hotels and guest houses are located in hidden corners of the estates or in some cases positioned at the end of street closes.

Normally, they are not easily identifiable as the owners deliberately or otherwise do not place signboards for easy location, especially by their victims. A Commercial motorcyclists who also spoke under the guise of anonymity narrated scaring stories about the physical condition of their passengers after visiting such hidden resorts.

According to one of them who identified himself as Innocent: “The problem is that police detectives do not want to use us to crack all these criminal cases. Any Okada man that tells you he does not know that such thing happens and where they normally happen is a liar.

“Those of us that are permanently in Festac and Amuwo-Odofin axis know both the women that have fallen victims and perpetrators of these heinous crimes. Women that fall victims are mostly those that go for young and appealling handsome men, either for fun or out of desperation to cheat on their spouses.

“They always go about with very flashy cars and when you see them, you do not need to be told that they are in desperate need of fun. There is a very strategic eatery positioned at Apple junction. This is where most of them book appointments and at the end of their meeting and end up in one hotel or guest house.

“Their male counterparts are always smartly dressed and some usually come with cars to ferry their victims to the hotels or they take over the steering from those rich women while going for rendezvous. We that know their exploits always notice the outlook of their female victims after the show because they will not only be looking unstable.

“Those of them that we carry normally forgot their residential addresses because of the fact that they were not only drugged but dispossessed of their valuables and they are always afraid of raising alarm because they called for it. Some even abandon their costly cars for days in such hotels until they recover from their stupor and go back to recover them.”

Police sources also hinted that they also carry out their nefarious activities by going through a potential victim’s profile and photos, making sure that she is suitable for them. Then they would engage them into any manner of conversation that would attract such woman to them.

It could be business, romance or what have you. After a while, they would cunningly lure them to any of the resorts either at Festac Town, Satellite Town or Amuwo Odofin area, where they operate safely. Then they would drug their victims and strip them naked after which they would take shots of them in their nude.

The sources said: “These blackmailers don’t usually go public with these photos, they contact their victims demanding huge sums of money with threats to make public the photos if their victims don’t cooperate. Meanwhile, some of their victims pay huge sums of money to these blackmailers, but they usually don’t stop asking.

We got some of these reports. They ask the victims to cooperate with them and also ask them to meet at a particular location, from where we arrested them. But one disturbing factor is the fact that we don’t have the right laws to prosecute some of these cases logically.”

It was gathered that one of the victims paid close to a million naira to her blackmailer before she reported the matter to the police recently. The victim who spoke with Crime Alert over the telephone said that she thought she was chatting with a normal human being on facebook before they met, and he got her drugged.

She said: “I thought he was a reasonable man when we started chatting on facebook. He was the one who aided me and was continually sending romantic messages to me. Each time I felt bored, I would call him to come online and we would chart for long hours.

“I stay in Port Harcourt with my family and on a day I had some business in Lagos, I called him to say I was coming and he was very glad. He begged I should stop at Mile 2 when I finished with what I came for. I was filled with anticipation over the meeting and I quickly rounded up my business and proceeded to see him. After we met, we went to a bar for drink. I don’t know how he did it, but after a few hours I started feeling very dizzy.

“He told me that he would get me into a hotel where I could get some rest and I agreed. That was all I could remember. I woke up the next day when the hotel officials knocked on my door only to discover I was completely naked. I don’t know how it happened. I managed to leave the hotel back to Port Harcourt and he started calling me.

First, he said I should pay N200,000 into an account or he would post my nude photos on the internet. I pleaded he shouldn’t do that and I ran quickly to the bank and paid the money. The extortion continued for almost one year and he took over N900,000 from me before I got the police involved and he was arrested.”

Crime Alert learnt that the recent arrest of some of the scammers, the police in Lagos have intensified efforts at rounding up perpetrators of this crime.

Owners of guest houses

To this effect, the State Police boss, Mr. Umar Manko has directed that a meeting of all the hoteliers and owners of guest houses in such identifiable areas should urgently be convened, where he is expected to read the riot act to them on their code of conduct and the possible resultant action the police would take against any of them whose outfit was discovered to be the rendezvous for such criminal acts.

The Police boss has also reportedly ordered a 24-hour surveillance and patrol of those areas suspected to be beehives for such act and has vowed to discipline any of his officers under whose jurisdiction such crimes are committed.

He said: “So far, undercover detectives have been deployed to all nooks and crannies of these areas especially Festac town, to fish out, not just potential victims but people who have fallen victims in the past, with a view to rounding up all those involved in the act.”

OAM4J: Good one.

I hope they factored in security of the rail and users, what with the likely BH terrain that will be traversed by the railway

Odunnu: Funny dude you are. If i'm surcharged or queried for coming late to work today, you'l pay.

I said every observant and unbiased user should know both dudes aint the same. I have not accepted intoto what Automahn said. Even at that, attacking him and saying he is ICME isnt right. He has a right to an opinion and shouldn't be tagged a fraudster, atleast not yet.

If you're surcharged, tell your supervisor you were delayed by me. I'll pay the fine

^^^ Saw your other two posts where you advocated moving the thread to the front-page, but you know what you got swayed by the advocacy of Automahnn for ICME which you should not have allowed. No doubt you made sense in those first two posts.

^^^ Do you really think anyone is interested in your line of argument? A transaction was started and aborted midway due to a non-disclosure by the seller who has so far shown more signs of being a criminal element; why should sane criticism of him / supporter be regarded as an attack? 'A man has every right to tow whatever line of view he considers', should this include tacit support for an injustice done to another? If and when he pays up the auto section might have a different opinion but currently, he is a fraudster and his supporters are 'birds of same plume'

dayokanu: I heard some people wake their father from bed with sliding tackle

So this shouldnt be a surprise

Why your comment has not been hidden, I don't understand but I said the same thing bout the guy and my comment was hidden.
