See them

The children of hate are here; by there name we shall know them.

Which methods were used to resuscitate him?

It might be a simple cardiac arrest which through the use of Defilbrator should bring back his heart to a normal rhythm.

This country

@lalasticlala

This deserve front page. The people needs to be informed.

I once meet a lady who told me to use my teeth on her nipples, smack her, chock her, hit her hardly because that’s the only way she enjoyed se”x.

Some ladies are sexually f.ucked up. Most have masturbated to the extent that they can’t even have orgasm normally anymore without some weird shit like hitting them or sexually violating them.

They enjoy it but.....I can’t do that even though I could.

Considering she’s above 45....wow!

notoriousbabe:
And this is news on the front page of nairaland?seun it's over

LOL

Chai!!!

That toto don suffer

That’s not his handle.

backnbeta:
I can imagine...it must be difficult to sign a death warrant

Difficult? The Governors must be crazy that’s decrelation of duty. Most prisoners on death row are killers that killed innocent victims and throw innocent families into sorrow. They have to be excecuted so serve as deterrent to others.

The National Assembly needs to even amend applicable laws, any armed robbers or Kidnapper that kill or take a soul during their robbery or kidnapping operation should be sentenced to death by firing squad and remove the bureaucracy of signing by the governors. It’s a clog in the will of administration of justice....You will see changes or reduction in crime.

In most developed countries it’s a wide know notion that once you kill a police officer and you are caught then you cant escape the death penalty. This has made criminals to think twice before shooting to kill, its only in Nigeria that criminals will steal your money and still kill for nothing.

Nah only dem

Nigeria Police...Shame

Trash from the elder of potopoto region.

Good policy I must say....

A new source of revenue to the Government.

Adiwana:
Tax in Nigeria is not 2%.My mum works with one of the federal govt hospitals and pays over 10% tax.So wtf with the sitting down and conjuring Stats that you feel is what your mind tells you.I have access to her payslip so don't think am simply blabbing.Its facts

Out of all the facts and information that I stated to explain to your inner senses that you can't compare apples with mangoes.

The only this you could say despite oozing hot air from your anus is that your mom tax is above 2%?

So does that now justify comparing the apples with mangoes?

Nigerians will never understand the dynamics of things...

Firstly to start with South Africa has an efficient Tax Revenue System, the minimum Tax is 25% flat, coupled with 15% VAT.

Everybody has a Tax number and the Tax on your salary or payment is automatically removed from the source, meaning you can't escape it.

Imagine earning N100,000 per mount and the government Tax Revenue service automatically removes N25,000.

Can that be possible in Nigeria without rioting?....And everything you buying is subjected to 15% VAT. Last time I checked VAT in Nigeria is still a miserable 5%, tax on salaries is 1-2%, one of the lowest in the world. And, yet we still want to government to be able to pay salaries with good infrastructures. Also, fuel is N145/Litre in Nigeria and almost N450/Litre in South Africa.

Let's stop comparing apples with mangos.

Food for thought.

Hi, can you upload more pictures?

Is it negotiable?

Hi, is it still available?

If yes, is it negotiable?

How much would you land a 2005 Sienna

Location?

As big as Nigeria is, can’t we invade Chad?

This is just so sad, have been so down since watching the video yesterday.

A military base without Hightower outpost for surveillance. Even in movies you will see Hightower outpost watching the perimeter surroundings. Not even a barbed wire perimeter fencing? Or motion triggered sensors. Nothing!

So sad.

That's so childish of Sowumi...

I am a Yoruba man and we are not brought up to speak to elders like that

Even though some South-South people will be happy because they are PDP and have anything against Buhari or APC...

But let's call a spade a spade you don't talk to an elder like that irrespective of the region or political affiliations.

manitoba:
Everyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty by law.

The sudden death of the guy should be probed .

How can a suspect just die in custody like that without Proper explanation?

Did he just die on the day of the court or why was the death announced in such manner?

Many things don't just add up.

But someone say, this is Nigeria.

Smh

You are indeed very stupid I have to say.

Someone that killed almost 22 people, with evidence showing him in the CCTV footage.

If you family member was part of those that were killed, will you say he’s innocent.

Why don’t you guys use your brain, even in the rules of Moses it’s an eye for an eye not to talk of someone that murdered 22 people and you spewing trash saying his innocent until court proves him right. If your sister or brother is among those killed and you have the chance to pull a trigger on the bastard, won’t you?

Stupid slowpoke roaming the streets.

Hi, everyone.
I am lanre, a fresh graduate from OAU, Ile-Ife. My convocation comes up on the 11th of December, 2018 but I have not been able to pay the dues(#15,500) required of me for attendance. I am not lazy to work things out for myself but my Mum's recent illness has left me drained financially, compelling me to opt for public donations on this platform.
This is the only excitement I have had in a long time and I sincerely wish to be part of it. I made a 2:1(4.31/5.0) and will be awarded two departmental prizes on that day. Thanks and God bless as you help make this come to fulfilment for me. Also, proof of my acclaimed status is readily available on request. I have till December 2 to facilitate my payment.

How much have you raised so far, because I know Nairalanders are generous, even @Seun alone can give you the money without baiting an eyelid. So let’s know if you’ve gotten the amount indicated or not.

Who is the regulatory body in charge of checking the effectiveness of the life jackets?...

It is so obvious that the life jacket the lady worn cannot support a 60Kg object afloat.

A simple test would have reveal that. There is a quantity of air in a jacket that can support a certain weight?

Its a simple Physics, that can be calculated by a secondary school student.

It's a tough conversation to listen to.

The woman on the phone thinks she has a fiancé in the US. But the romantic emails she's been receiving are really coming from a small town in Nigeria.

Laura Lyons has to break the bad news.

She's a private investigator who specialises in tracking down online romance fraudsters, otherwise known as "catfish".

"When you have to go back to individuals and explain to them that this person doesn't exist, they're not real, that is really hard to do," she says.

The catfish are often based in Africa and work from pre-written romantic scripts in internet cafes.

Their stories are designed to tug at the heart strings and to empty bank accounts.

More than a quarter of new relationships now start through a dating website or app, so there's no shortage of potential victims.

Most victims are too embarrassed to go to the police, but there are still 10 catfish crimes a day reported in the UK. Those affected by such scams lose on average around £15,000.

Roy Twiggs shows me the stream of email conversations he had with someone who pretended to be a US woman called Donna.

Roy thought they were in love and were going to get married. Then she started asking for money to help with a building project in Malaysia.

"The money seemed to be for plausible things. When you're sending £3,000, £4,000, it sort of all adds up.

"After I'd worked everything out I'd actually paid her the best part of £100,000."

The 67-year-old from Doncaster should be enjoying a comfortable retirement. Instead he's paying off creditors each month using his pension.

"I'm broke. You're whitewashed, you're totally devastated, you're finished, you just don't want to be bothered anymore."

While we are filming we spot a worrying entry on Roy's calendar. He has written "$500" next to the name Sherry.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/41E5/production/_104396861_panorama_billion_pound_romance_scams_stills003.jpg
Sherry is Roy's new American girlfriend. He met her online.

When I check the messages Sherry has sent, it's clear she's using the same language and methods as the original catfish.

It's far from unusual, as catfish are ruthless with their victims. If you have been hooked once, you are more likely to be targeted again.

The bait: A fake profile used to hook someone online

I want to catch a catfish by setting up my own fake dating profile. Nearly two-thirds of reported victims are women, so I have become Kathryn Hunter - a wealthy divorcee looking for love.

It's not long before the catfish begin to bite.

Four men approach me online and they all claim to be US soldiers. It's an immediate red flag. The military profile is a commonly used cover story which gives catfish an excuse not to meet in person, as well as providing a seemingly legitimate reason to ask for money to be sent overseas.

One of the soldiers, who calls himself Paul Richard, comes on strong. On day two, he tells Kathryn he's in love. On day three, he wants to marry her.

He takes the conversation away from the dating site and bombards me with texts. There are messages late into the night and more waiting for me in the morning.

After a week, Paul Richard says he wants to speak on the phone. My producer takes on the role of Kathryn for the call. The number he rings from has a Nigerian dialling code.

After a brief silence, a man with a thick African accent comes on the line. He doesn't sound like the American soldier whose picture he is using. But Paul explains away his accent by saying he has a cold.

The easiest way to prove someone is a catfish is to find the real person whose pictures they are using. An online reverse image search can show where the pictures came from on the internet.

The first three photos Paul sends us don't work, because the meta data has been stripped from the picture. But we get a result on the fourth, a selfie Paul claims is him in his army uniform.

It leads us to the Instagram page of Juan Avalos, a real life marine whose page features the same pictures sent to us by Paul. He has uploaded a warning about catfish because so many fraudsters have been using his photos to scam people.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/164F3/production/_104397319_paulrichardship.jpg
Juan told us: "These guys will say anything to anybody and lie. I run into so many messages, even if I show them it's not me they still don't believe it because they are so deeply in love."

For the next few weeks, my producer continues to speak to Paul Richard on the phone as I listen in.

Paul talks gushingly about their future life together and his plans to move to the UK to be with Kathryn once his army service finishes.

The conversations grow longer and more frequent, punctuated with kisses, flirtatious comments and a regular request for pictures.

There's just one thing standing in the way of our future happiness - Paul's son is sick and desperately needs medical attention. He asks for $800 (£620) to pay for young Rick's treatment.

Paul says we should pay the cash to his nanny in the US, a woman called Marcy Krovak.

It's a breakthrough because, unlike Paul Richard, Marcy Krovak is a real person.

Mule: Someone who transfers money or goods for the catfish

Catfish need real people to pick up cash for them as some form of identification has to be shown when collecting transactions. Some of these money mules are innocent victims tricked into forwarding on cash, others are in on the scam.

We don't know whether Marcy is in on it or not, so we head to Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, where she lives.

We send her a small amount of cash to see if she will pick it up.

The next three days are spent sitting in a blacked out van outside Marcy's local Western Union.

We spot a number of women who look like her going inside but each time it's a false alarm..

Then, just as we think our sting has failed, we receive a notification telling us the cash has been picked up using Marcy's ID.

But it's been collected 400 miles away - in New York.

When we ask Marcy what's going on, she claims she's also a victim of our catfish: "I never was going to go to Western Union and pick that money up but now somebody's used my info and gone and picked it up. It was not me, I did not do it. Please find this person."

The reveal: Unmasking the catfish

It seems like we have hit another dead end, but then our catfish makes a mistake.

Paul Richard accidentally leaves a name tag - Dan Coolman - on one of his WhatsApp pictures.

We search through all the Dan Coolmans in Nigeria and we find one who runs a barbershop in Ibadan. He's using the same number that our catfish has been calling us from.

Dan Coolman is another false name, but we discover the phone is registered to Daniel Joseph Okechkwu.

We then find a Twitter account with that name and the same profile picture as the one used by Dan Coolman.

We have finally uncovered the real identity of our catfish.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/E659/production/_104396985_panorama_billion_pound_romance_scams_stills006.jpg
We head for Ibadan, but by the time we get there he's gone. The doors to the barber shop are locked and locals say it's been closed for weeks.

There is a photo of our catfish posing with a customer on the side of the building, but no-one seems to know where Daniel Joseph Okechkwu has gone.

After three months of talking to our catfish, we decide to call him and tell him who we really are.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/18299/production/_104396989_panorama_billion_pound_romance_scams_stills007.jpg
Surprisingly, he doesn't hang up straight away. He sticks to his story about being a US soldier and insists his name is Paul Richard. He denies scamming anybody and then ends the call.

It feels like a disappointing end to our search, but later that night he calls back.

This time, Daniel Joseph Okechkwu confesses. He claims it's the first romance scam he's ever pulled and that he has been forced to do it because of the closure of his barber shop.

He sounds sincere and he apologises for the way he has treated us.

Our catfish says he wants to stop being a romance fraudster. But he needs us to give him money, so that he can afford to stop tricking other people out of their cash.

It's a classic catfish twist. They never give up on the scam even when they have been rumbled.
