with this high rate at which crime is reported, I wonder if criminals are competing with themselves. This is getting out of hand.
About the lady lured away and kidnapped, that was a careless one on her part to have agreed meeting a stranger without caution. She is even lucky they did not kill her like they did to one lady sometime ago. People, especially women, should be wary when dealing with strangers.

Na wa o! The activities of hood looms in that axis of Nigeria are really plenty. It seems they have established a Ministry somewhere nearby and go to “work”everyday like civil servants. May God pull down their Headquarters so innocent people can rest.

Thank God she came out alive. FB, Twitter, smiggle, 2go etc. friends will never see me. I wonder how a girl/lady/anybody can take this kind of risk with all that’s happening now in this country, just to meet who she don’t know from Adam. This will teach others lesson.

I hope the criminals are jailed at least 50years imprisonment each for their crimes. Because they’re the ones causing all the evils in Nigeria. Many couple today met online, but because of these wicked men, people are afraid meet in person they met on-line. Nonsense.

So inspite of all the evils with different colours going around evrywhere, somebody could still allowed herself to be lured by some total strangers she met via fb?
Its a shame on her part, no pity. What was she even expecting from them to make her fall so cheap for them? What kind of sweet lies did they tell her that got her confused? What was her motives while she was going to meet with them?
Lucky that she was not hot-raped or even killed.
I de vex now sef. Make I go continue my hunting jare…
