Since 2011? When do the victims get an expedited justice in our court of law in Nigeria? I was once duped by a syndicate and one of them was caught. The case went to court in Abuja even though I live in Lagos and suspect was caught in Abuja. I had to fly in for court session every time and to my dismay, most times the magistrate will cancel the sitting while we were all there. It spanned a year of back and forth until one day, I was flying back to Lagos and the plane I was in almost crashed!
I stopped going after the scary experience and the suspect was released to go!
