omaigala: You just can't comprehend, the Police admitted that some people claimed they took their relatives there and they still don't have any clear reports, but the media has already concluded to sell their story. So where in my post did I justify ritual killings? And said there is nothing wrong in Ritual killings? 1 Like |

Crime / Mexicans Buy Fake Phones To Hand Over When Robbed by KingOfallOsu: 4:17am On Jun 06, 2019 |
Armed robberies have gotten so common aboard buses in Mexico City that commuters have come up with a clever if disheartening solution: Many are buying fake cell phones, to hand over to thieves instead of their real smart phones. Costing 300 to 500 pesos apiece — the equivalent of N5,00 to N9,000 — the “dummies” are sophisticated fakes: They have a startup screen and bodies that are dead ringers for the originals, and inside there is a piece of metal to give the phone the heft of the real article. That comes in handy when trying to fool trigger-happy bandits who regularly attack the buses, big and small, that ferry people from the poorer outlying suburbs to jobs in the city center. The scene is repeated over and over again, courtesy of the cameras that many buses now carry that record the assaults, often late at night or in the early morning: Sleepy passengers are seen bouncing along in the jitneys when one or two of the men aboard suddenly pull masks over their faces. One will pull out a gun while his accomplice passes down the aisle, often with his own gun, demanding valuables. “You’re all screwed now! Don’t move or you’re dead! Cellphones and wallets!” barks a thief in one recent video. Time and again, those who resist or refuse are hit in the head with a pistol, or simply shot and left to bleed on the floor of the bus. Martha Patricia Rociles Estrada, a schoolteacher from the low-income suburb of Nezahualcoyotl, was robbed herself. Now, she said, most city residents make their daily commutes in fear. “Getting on public transportation is now a risk,” Rociles Estrada said. “You get on, but you never know if you’re going to return. “Now you have to be careful to carry money, because if you don’t, the thieves get angry and you run the risk that they’ll shoot you if you’re not carrying money.” There were an average of 70 reported violent muggings every day in Mexico City in the first four months of 2019. About two-thirds were committed against pedestrians, with the rest split almost evenly between bus passengers and assaults on motorists stopped at lights or caught in traffic jams. Between 2017 and 2018, such assaults rose by about 22 percent. But when Rociles Estrada was robbed at gunpoint several years ago, most people weren’t carrying costly smart phones around with them. “They just took whatever I had of value, my change purse, that was all,” she recalled The advent of smart phones changed all that. Now, many people carry a device worth hundreds of dollars in their pocket, and one that also might hold their bank or credit card information. That’s where “dummy” vendors like Axel come in. Axel says he sells three or four dummy phones a week out of his stall in a downtown electronics marketplace, next door to a colonial college building that dates to 1767. Axel, who asked his full name not be used for fear police would accuse him of selling fake merchandise, said all of his customers know they are buying fakes. “It’s useful for robberies, the large number of muggings happening in Mexico City,” said Axel. “They say ‘hand over your cellphone, give me everything’, and people know now they have to hand over the phone quick, in a matter of seconds, so they hand over these phones and often the thieves don’t realize it.” But Axel admits the victim would be in trouble if a thief caught them handing over a “dummy” phone. “Obviously there are problems, because if the criminals search it or find out … there is going to be a problem.” Because of that, some try a different strategy, spending a little more to buy a cheap but real second phone. Gloria, who works at her own stall at another market across the street in a converted art-deco movie house, said the dummy trade started about 14 years ago, but for different reasons: Phone shops would buy dummies for their exhibition cases to protect against another type of crime, the so-called “sledgehammer crews” who can clear out a jewelry or electronics store in seconds by breaking windows. “Generally, the dummy is for a showcase, for people who sell real cellphones,” Gloria explained. “Dummies have been sold here for about 14 years, for use in showcases, but nowadays people are buying them to protect their own cell phones.” https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/mexicans-buy-fake-phones-to-hand-over-when-robbed.html Lalasticlala 1 Like 1 Share |

oilPUSSY: For a group of people to believe Kidnapping in Nigeria and smuggling drugs all over Asia is the only way to be successful in life, says alot about your exposure and orientation. The best student in WAEC through out West Africa last year was a Yoruba I don't know why you keep crying and wailing about WAEC on Nairaland every day You claim you are the best in Business, you are resilient, you are creative, you are hardworking blah blah blah, so why are you into Kidnapping, Arm robbery and Drug smuggling? Why are the Hardworking and industrious people of Biafra into crimes? If Nairaland report all the cases of crimes that happens in the East Daily, you would be the first to conjure a conspiracy theory and cry victimisation. 31 Likes 4 Shares

The case is even under investigation by Police and the police said they still don't have any clear report because some people claimed that they were the one that took their relatives there for healing and the people found there were mentally unstable people, but the media need to exaggerate to sell their story. 33 Likes 4 Shares
