THE MENANCE ON OSHODI PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

This is Oshodi pedestrian bridge linking Ilupeju to Oshodi Isale in Lagos Nigeria.
 On this bridge many has fallen victim of petty thieves (Pick Pockets), a stroll of less than a minute depending on the traffic can be hellish to some. Pockets, wallets, purses, back packs are not safe here, don't be suprise to see someone opening a back pack and taking stuffs out from it, you dear not talk only the brave can ask Kilon Sie le (What's happening?) The prepatrators of this crime are extremly sharp and ever busy, they work in a group of five to eight. You can never find a lone ranger.  But it baffles me to see them opening a backpack and the carrier won't notice the drama behind him.  Till they finish someone will just tap him behind and say bros (Mr) see your bag is open.

                                           A Scotland Yard commander who led the force’s drug strategy and heads misconduct hearings has been suspended over allegations of drug misuse.   Commander Julian Bennett was secretly suspended last month following claims involving controlled drugs.

Popularly called Mama Boko Haram, Aisha, however, said their apprehension was how they would be reintegrated into society.
