HELL IN A CELL Inside El Salvador’s hellhole prisons where inmates can be jailed without trial & be packed like sardines with gangsters
Scroll to see the terrifying prisons where inmates get stripped to their underwear and their heads shaved

IN El Salvador, a single phone call can get you locked up and packed in an iron-barred cell with murderous gangsters.

The country has historically been torn apart by armed violence and over the last two years embarked on aggressive policies to lock up any suspected gang members for life.

LUST RESORT Inside sex-fuelled Mediterranean holiday hotspot where randy Brit women aged 20-70 romp day & night – then troll rivals
*A Facebook group has emerged naming and shaming women getting involved with local Turkish men

“BUY one drink, get me free,” a hot barman says with a wink as I stroll down the party strip on a Friday night.

It’s a standard line here, and from what I’ve seen, it certainly rings true.

In the UK female dancers and bar staff are the norm.

But in Marmaris, Turkey, every beach bar showcases buff, young male staff who are topless, oiled up and putting on sexy performances for pleasure-seekers, including thousands of Brits.

The holiday hotspot has surged in popularity among British women, many from the younger crowd, with throngs jetting out each summer in search of a steamy beach romance.

Yet some getting involved with local men have found themselves being shamed online.

“It’s Thailand for women,” says a laughing Katie Rees. “I’ve had a one- night stand with Omar. I know he’s got about ten different women on the go but I’m just here for fun.

“We love Turkish guys because they’re tall, dark and handsome and they’re better in bed. Sorry to all the Welsh boys back home.”

Katie, a 22-year-old support worker from South Wales, is enjoying a holiday with her friend Ffion Cooper, 23, a hairdresser from Cardiff.

Omar is a good-looking barman at Tigers Tavern, one of the hottest spots on the strip. He laughs as he recounts leaving a “giant bite mark” on Katie’s bum.

When I ask him if he has broken many hearts this summer, a smirk tugs at the corners of his mouth.

Katie playfully chimes in: “I might break his heart.” Omar replies: “I haven’t got a heart to break.”

Serial love rats

With female tourists clamouring for the attention of the local beach boys, a Facebook group has emerged naming and shaming them.

The group, with more than 16,000 members, operates without any official admin, making it a chaotic “wild west”.


The page is inundated every day with defamatory posts about British women accused of “stealing” Turkish men, accompanied by warnings and photos of alleged serial love rats.

Some of the content is so explicit and controversial that we cannot repeat it here.

Cheryl Farnan-Jones, 39, who moved from Saddleworth, Greater Manchester, to Marmaris in 2018, told me she had been posted in the group.

“I felt sick to my stomach,” she recalls. “There was a picture of me captioned, ‘About time this vile old cow was outed for the scheming tart she is buying Turks’, accompanied by several sick emojis.

The former nurse and mother of one, who works for a UK-based market research company, began dating Imam Sakaroğlu, 36, two years ago.

Over the past six weeks the pair have been horrendously trolled on the Facebook group, which we are not naming.

Imam, who runs popular bar Salt N Pepa, had a “couple of one-night stands” with a British woman he believes is behind the posts.

Cheryl says: “It makes me angry, because how dare she speak about me like that. She doesn’t even know me, it’s pure jealousy.

“I’ve asked her to message me if she wants to speak to me like an adult, rather than post on there. She replied, ‘How dare you get into my inbox, you slag’.”

The false accusations include that Cheryl is “addicted” to Imam, she pays him for sex and has slept ‘with the whole of Marmaris’.

But if Cheryl thought things couldn’t get any worse, she was wrong. “They posted a picture of me, my daughter and my mum saying we were fleecing old grannies through our Turkish lovers,” she explains.

“It’s one thing trolling me, but leave my daughter and my mum out of it. How sick do you have to be to do that?”

Imam said: “It is a big problem. She is jealous and she wants to cause problems and drama.

“And you can’t stop her. She goes crazy.”

The pair have contacted Facebook in an effort to try to get the woman to stop.

Cheryl added: “Despite her efforts to tear us apart, the abuse has actually made us stronger. But I think the page should be closed down. It’s ruining lives.”

Outside Tigers Tavern — frequently mentioned in the Facebook group for its notorious “Tiger Boys” workers — I meet the owner, Mehmet Can Korkmaz, 27, and ask if he is familiar with the group and his staff breaking hearts.

He says with a laugh: “When people come here we are nice to them, we give them attention, when they want something more we say, ‘No, we have a girlfriend’.

“Some women take it well and say OK and others will try to make you leave (your girlfriend).”

The soaring cost of domestic air travel in Nigeria is forcing many citizens to abandon air transportation, as one-way tickets now sell for over N200,000 on several routes.

Routes such as Lagos to Abuja, Enugu, Kano, and Owerri have seen unprecedented price hikes, with some flights costing as much as N650,000, depending on the airline and the time of booking.

A one-way economy class ticket from Lagos to Abuja, previously priced between N50,000 to N65,000, now ranges between N130,000 and N220,000.

Similarly, flights from Lagos to Kano and Lagos to Owerri have reached staggering prices, with tickets costing up to N650,000 and N600,000, respectively.

Business Day reports that the surge in prices is attributed to a combination of factors, including the scarcity of foreign exchange, increased maintenance costs, and the grounding of some domestic airlines, such as Dana Air.

According to the report, many airlines are struggling to maintain their fleets, with fewer aircraft available to meet demand, creating a virtual monopoly on certain routes.

Passengers like Patience Kofo, who used to frequently travel with her children from Lagos to Abuja, have been priced out of flying.

“I used to spend between N500,000 to N600,000 on return tickets, but now it costs over N1.5 million,” she said.

Similarly, frequent business traveller Musa Iyal had to cancel his trip after discovering that a one-way ticket from Kano to Lagos was priced at N230,000, citing that such high costs would erode his business profits.

With rising costs and reduced fleet availability, many Nigerians are turning to alternative forms of transportation, making air travel increasingly a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

Nightlife entrepreneur, Okechukwu Paschal, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has arrived the Federal High Court in Lagos for his trial.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had accused Cubana Chiest Priest of naira abuse.

He was driven to the court around 8:45 am on Wednesday by EFCC operatives with armed police escorts.

On Tuesday, EFCC filed a three-count charge against the social media celebrity.

A copy of the document filed on April 4th by EFFC’s prosecutor Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN alongside seven other lawyers representing the chairman of the Commission read:

“That you, Okechukwu Pascal on 13th Feb. 2024, at Eko Hotel, within the jurisdiction of the court, while dancing during a social event, tampered with funds in the denomination of N500 (Five Hundred Naira) issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying same for two hours, and you thereby committed an offence, contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act 2007.”

“That you Okechukwu Pascal sometime in 2020, in Lagos during a social event, tampered with funds in the denomination of N500 (Five Hundred Naira) issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying same for two hours, and you thereby committed an offence, contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act 2007.”

“That you Okechukwu Pascal sometime in January 2024, in Lagos during a social event, tampered with funds in the denomination of N500 (Five Hundred Naira) issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying same and you thereby committed an offence, contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act 2007.”

A public interest and human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has revealed the challenging situation cross-dresser Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, may face while serving his time at Ikoyi Prison.

Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison without an option of fine over naira abuse charges on Friday.

Reacting to the judgement in a tweet on Friday, the lawyer said: “Bobrisky will have a difficulty experience in the Custodial Centre (prison) because he is not a freedom fighter and does not seem to me like someone that can stay in a restricted environment under harsh and excruciating conditions.”

He continued: “The main key to surviving imprisonment is mental strength and courage. The prison wall only breaks those who are not driven by strong convictions.

“For a freedom fighter, it is a training ground. No true activist goes to prison and comes out weaker. They always come out stronger and bolder. History shows this clearly. Any activist that is broken by imprisonment is a pretender.

“If you are all about the ‘soft life’, and you are the fragile type and incapable of enduring physical discomfiture, you should avoid imprisonment.

“Some of us came out stronger after our imprisonment because we have always been mentally prepared for it and due to our strong ideological disposition.

“Bobrisky will be confronted by a culture shock when he enters Ikoyi Prison and realizes that it is a different world from what he knows. After a few days, he will begin to adjust to his new world.

“Money can only ameliorate the hardship there, but it will not shield him from the daily problems and inconveniences of the prison environment.

“This is when he will know who his true friends are. When I was jailed for one month, reality dawn on me that some people who I thought were sympathetic to my cause, actually celebrated my detention. How my enemies felt about it was irrelevant.

“Unluckily for my unfriendly friends and foes, my spirit was free and liberated. My physical restriction didn’t break me at all. I actually added weight in prison and enjoyed long hours of sleep which I never had before and after my one month imprisonment.

“Most Nigerians have a wrong perception of the prison system. The idea that the prison is where only criminals are kept is baseless. If I didn’t experience it, I would not have known how deeply flawed and broken our criminal justice system is.

“Many people in prison are innocent or just victims of circumstances. But there are also hardened criminals there. Sadly, the current system does little or nothing to reform inmates,” he added.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has told Justice Oyindamola Ogala of the Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja that the
Chairman of Ibeto Energy Development Company, Cletus Ibeto, has paid back N1.5 billion in two tranches in respect of the N4.8 billion fraud allegations for which he was charged before the court.

Counsel to the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, disclosed this to Justice Ogala on Monday.

He also told the judge that the defendant paid the money as part of the ongoing plea bargain discussions between the anti-graft agency and
the defendants.

Rotimi explained that the defendants have agreed to pay the balance within the next three months.

Counsel to the defendants, Adebayo Oshodi, did not deny or confirm the claims.

The defendants, Ibeto and his companies, Ibeto Energy Development Company and Odoh Holdings Ltd, face a 10-count charge bordering on
allegations of conspiracy, fraud, forgery and fraudulent use of documents brought against them by the EFCC.
