Fighting corruption is Dangerous
" keep your nose clean, hold your head high, and never allow anyone to intimidate or blackmail you "
People has ask me what is my own matter with the current ravaging #EndSARS protest across the nation, that since am not an armed robber or a cyber criminal as they only deal with a lot of such people well I will tell my story in their extra judicial actions extortion and modulous operandi of the disbarment unit.
SARS was a unit created from the crime Investigative department ( CID ) from the Nigerian police to counter menace of the armed robbery incident in Lagos it was created in 1984 by the military head of state who was the major general buhari, who is now the present civilian president. It was created to combat armed robbery, kidnapping, cultistism and lately banditry in Nigeria.
The success is attributed in the war against armed robbery as they gallantly tackle armed robbery and won much in the fierce battle.
The beginning of much exposure into cyber space in Nigeria was much attributed into advance free fraud which is called " 4.1.9" ( a section of the criminal code law in Nigeria) or " yahoo yahoo" . As the evolution of this people begin to shift from all sort of armed robbery into other specials area.
Between 2010 the rate of advance free fraud beging to grow as people uses the android and blackberry devices to explore the internet the more, which could perform very much more activities and easier than carrying laptops.Well in 2014, there about this SARS unit which was only based in Lagos begin to illegal extort people especially young boys as the beginning of cyberfuad is rampt in this country and every where in the world.
Since the avalanche of internet and the introduction of the android devices and blackberry and every other smart phones allows the usage of the phone to operate wider part of the internet give more rose to cybercrime as it does more damages. And people could easily do more thing on their phone rather than using the laptop or computer. The usage of phone and exposure of more people to social media especially Facebook give a rise to more fraud.
Well the anti crime agencies work but since cybercrime is intelligence based the fraud stars lives freely. The special anti Robbery Squad then turn to syndicates that search people's phone illegal and they first check for alerts and all that on victims phones. Just in the name to extort money from them they kill some people they prefer stubborn after even extorting exorbitant money from them. While some are left with bullets injury , they kidnapped some people without access to lawyer or even their family and with this people bail has never been free.
After recently since alot of work now moved to online the avalanche to do business online as been better as people do more business, trade in cryptocurrency, some trade the foreign exchange, some have business online . So people have to use alot of things. It begins as the operative starts profiling people for using expensive item like iPhone or Mac book. They check account balance and at times have pos (point of sales machine), also at times they force their victims to the ATM machine to withdraw and give them money this is all bad as most people do their legal business.
The image above is a student of Federal university of agriculture Abeokuta, Ogun State. He was a Forex traders well as a final year student in the institution , the bad day seyi was trading in the midnight forget to set a stop loss on his trade as SARS officers broke into his room, he asked that is account to be closed but they seized his phone. He lost over $20,000 which was much of fund of people he trade Forex for . He was detained for long and he missed his final project defences for that day which earn him a auto extra year. Seyi lost money , lost his credibility, lost his mind , lost his education, people that has money with him started threatening him. Seyi has to commit suicide when he can cope seyi was lost.
One reasons that got me pained. Well when I start learning graphics design I was caught and when they checked my system they said I do fake documents and all that I was ask to pay some money in order to freey self that is not good some reason why we say #endsars

This is a black and sad Tuesday night has there was a massacre in lekki , when the military men attacked protesters in the lekki and killed about 50 people. Thought figure is not yet ascertain .

When the military came that night people sign the national anthem and wave the flags , it was so painful that the unpatriotic soldier shoot at patriotic youths, who are demanding for rights. The events surrounding this events was painful as the CCTV was removed, the lekki billboard light was switch offed, the street light was offed. Before this military begins the aweful acts . Reaction has start happing as government denied nobody died and all different stories, this begin the rise of hoodlums, as they attacked business, and banks every where was in pandemonium, after some covid palliatives was discovered in the Lagos in two different places as government hoard food item like rice , noodles and spag well people carts away with them I would stop here presently.
