Gambian police have arrested six Nigerians accused of keeping an Australian pensioner tied up in a toilet for more than a week after they enticed him to Africa over the internet.

Gambian Police Chief Essa Badjie said the gang had extorted 5000 euro ($9900) from his family for his release.

Details here.

It's a good thing they flew him to Gambia rather than Lagos.

This should be catalogued for the next "Ethics debate". Let the lad huggers go to Gambia and sta tied up in a toilet for a week, and then see how they feel about the "issue".

I hope these guys get long prison sentences.

The people of Gambia need to throw the book at these scammers for giving their country a bad name.

With little oil or precious minerals, Gambia, the smallest country on mainland Africa, relies on its sandy beaches and sunny weather to attract tourists that are key to its economy.

The pensioner is lucky to come out of this alive.

You're sure they've got latrines down there? puke

@ dr williams

Believe it or not but a posting of mine to a German computer forum was censored the other day because I quoted the eater website. The forum master wiped off the address '419eater.com' with the remark that it spreads "rassistics".

I took a couple of surplus letters and mailed them to him. Maybe he's a millionaire now....? Wink

At your service,

Here's what some Gambians themselves had to say, at Gambia News website:

If that means what I think it does, should Nigerians be called something else in order to avoid racism? This is not about hating race, it's about hating criminal scumbags which they would be even if they were blond and blue-eyed.

Rabid political correctness has now reached a pitch of hysteria that demands we should have warm and fuzzy feelings about violent serial criminals merely because of the colour of their skin? That seems like reverse "rassistism" in itself.

It's a fact that 99.5% of the scam emails I get originate from Nigeria. I didn't make this up. These people would gladly take my last cent and see me starve or die without a qualm. Oh boo hoo - we should try and be more understanding, right?

Anyone who feels even a twinge of guilt over seeing lads sent on safaris, or dressed in bizarre clothing while holding humilating signs should remind themselves of what these people really do and are capable of. Many of them would cut your throat if they thought there was a payday in it.

oh, I can think of a whole bunch of other words that I could call nigerian scammers that aren't racist.

well, not until you put them into the context i'd put them in.

It would be fun to get that pc forum master's business phone number and broadcast it through all of ladland as that of a fresh maga; eager to proceed with the transaction.

But then he is still an ITP and off limits, however undeserving.
