Nigerian Cyber Blackmailers On The Rise
The increase of Coronavirus cases and also poverty has led to some Nigerian individuals’ onto a dark path. News broke a few weeks ago when l OAP Toke Makinwa released a mail she had received from supposed Nigerian cyber blackmailers who threatened to release her nude images of her if she did not cooperate.
She debunked the mail saying they were edited photos of her. See what she wrote:
Is this really how low we’ve become? I understand that things are hard, I get that feeding off each other and scamming people will be on the rise but I’ve never and would never negotiate with con artists/scammers. I am sharing this ahead of your threats to release these edited/false images cos this is disappointing, this is not humanity, there is a pandemic killing people and there’s also certain human beings wanting to exploit people in a time when we should all spread love and kindness. Stop with your bloody emails already ?????. I am not the one, not yesterday, not today, not ever. I don’t have any money to give you.
See the original image and she’s all covered up:
Thinking that was going to be the last we would hear from the blackmailers. Some days ago, Big Brother Naija Star, Tacha also released her own mail she had gotten from the blackmailers. She took to twitter to address the issue.
It is really sad to see this happen to womenfolk.
