[quote author=G-reycells link=topic=284811.msg4037659#msg4037659 date=1245167627]I think he should be arrested for breaking the laws of Lagos. Hawking is prohibited.[/quote]Even if he's obviously doing it for research? I think he (Or any Nigerian for that matter who was genuinely hawking as part of a reasearch project) should be allowed to, because the results of the project are likely to contribute to solving the menace of street trading. And probably providing the street traders themselves with alternative sources of income which are just as profitable as hawking.

Even if it is highly unlikely that this propositio will ever be lobbied, there have been stories of 419 victims "rightfully" taking matters into their hands and personally carrying out death sentences of fraudsters (Not that I am advocating this)

See:

A restaurant worker was sentenced to life in jail on Tuesday for murdering a Chinese graduate couple in Newcastle last year over their part in an internet betting scam.
Guang Hui Cao, 31, killed Xi Zhou and Zhen Xing Yang, both aged 25, at their flat in August 2008. He then mutilated their bodies.
. . .  Zhou was found lying face-down on her bed. Cao had bound her wrists with tape and then hit her over the head with a heavy weapon, possibly a hammer.
A piece of towelling was stuffed into her mouth, which had been taped shut, and she suffocated around 90 minutes after the ordeal began, the Press Association reported.
Yang was discovered in the other bedroom, having been hit with a hammer in the face and head. His throat had been slashed.
The court heard that the couple could have been killed for their part in a lucrative internet betting operation which saw 233,000 pounds pass through their bank accounts in three years.
. . . Cao, of Morpeth, Northumberland, had pretended he wanted to sub-let a room in their flat in order to make contact with the popular couple before killing them, the court heard.
