What Awaits Scammers Sent To Prison In Nigeria?
So Many Victims Demand Justice But What Does Justice Really Look Like?
Sadly, Nigerian prisons reflect their society. Some are somewhat close to modern standards while others are stone age. It depends on the crime and the prisoner’s connection where they go, not to mention the region of the country.
When a Nigerian scammer is sentenced to a year or 2, most victims feel that it is not enough. Take a look at these photos and see how you feel? Remember, that in the Nigerian culture, being a convict condemns the person for their entire life and their families too!
However, as we have started to see, a second-time offender can get a sentence of much longer duration. One received 28 years in prison for his second offense.
so if they are arresting so many scammers, why can we not get any of our scammed money returned??
That is not hard to understand. The West African governments keep it. One of the reasons that scamming is illegal in these countries is that it does not pay taxes, so when they find scammers they seize their assets for either the regional or national government. If you want to change this then do something about it. Join SCARS and write to your Senators to cut off foreign aid to West African countries – make Ghana an example.
