    I'm a Nigerian and I'm really ashamed of our image on the global space. I'm so sorry this innocent woman is going through this problem. The hotel manager should be arrested, I'm pretty sure she's a culprit. She initially said the cctv recording is kept for a year, how come it was deleted after 4 months?

      I've had the pleasure of visiting Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, and a quick cross border trip to Porto Novo). There are people in the world who only know how to imagine the worst about a place and its people based on the actions of a few. You do not need to feel shame for your image, because for the haters, there's nothing that can be done to change that view. The others, those that can see past the darkness that exists every country on earth, know what gracious and kind people there are in Nigeria, which is quite remarkable given the huge ethnic groupings there. My friend, who made the initial invitation to visit Nigeria, would not stop teaching me customs, language (which one of 200+ dialects!), food, and especially the warning signs of a scam heading my way. I've gone the long way around to say it, but I agree with you. The hotel manager was, in my view, certainly in on it. While I don't think he had anything to do with the actual crime, I have no doubt that he lined her pockets well to erase or otherwise dispose of the CCTV footage.

This is just a very sad story, and I agree that something is going on with that hotel manager. Peace to you.

Why not showing or donating the CCTV the first time? It was a red flag! What about the authorities, cops etc? Are they all so corrupt and I mean in both countries!!! Only a 76 years man is doing their jobs one million times better ! Her poor daughter who traveled the world just to see her mom 15 minutes must have been her worst nightmare!

    I watched subsequent videos made by the television station regarding her case. She has returned safely home and is living with her daughter now. What struck me as odd, personally, was when she was meeting with the Priest, the Attorney advocate who works with him, Her personal Attorney, and the Journalist who covered her story,to say goodbye (to the Team who won her freedom) Never Once did she simply say Thank You to any of them! She did not say thank you to her daughter as she picked her up upon her arrival, who also helped her and who she now lives with either! (as she sent all of her money and money she borrowed to the scammer) She said she is disappointed by other family members who are having a hard time forgiving her. She said SHE is the ONLY Victim in all of this - she thinks her family did not suffer, only she did. She is also already dating - maybe her family would forgive her if she spent her time reconnecting with them all and getting a job to repay them and also help out her daughter too! She seems to wish to remain a perpetual child that everyone else has to take care of. She seems to expect from others without showing any gratitude. (from what was shown in the videos anyway.)

      Her daughter is accepting of her behavior and she believes that because her dad, her mother's husband who passed away, always took care of the mom that now her family should as well. This is a perfect example of why families need to teach their daughters to depend on themselves instead of depending on others. This mom is obviously looking for another man to take care of her, that is why she is putting herself back on the market. As far as some of the rest of the aren't rallying around her is that she lost over $205,000.00 in a scam. This is money her husband left her an she squandered it on a man/scam. The other family members have no more money to waste on a person who is not responsible with money. By the way I also noticed she did not say thank you to all those that helped her, to late now. I hope her daughter understands that these comments are not against her but she needs to step back and expect that her mom takes some responsibility and I am sure she has a monthly income from her husbands pension and life insurance and should step up and pay something the roof over her head.

      Well, Ms. Kathy 411
      you can not say that like that.
      You have to put yourself into her situation to understand the full picture.
      Yes, on the first sight somebody might think that what you do.
      This person or gang what I assume made all of this very smart.
      This person or they have choosen a persons profile of somebody she would relate to..
      a) most likely to trust..and as I recall it from my mind the first contact online was a military doctor working for the united nations.. That's a really high ranking person of trust.
      That's why she trusted this person.
      Beeing together before with a police officer. The contact happend to be in 2021 according to the cronical dates of this video after 2016 her husband passed away.
      2020/2021 Pandemic the so called pandemic made in China. The time of the Lockdowns and quarantines and big anxiety.
      And loneliness on a high scale around the Globe 🌎
      And after she sended him all the money..lots of money..she lost even her home 😳😓🤦‍♀️
      and had to move back to her daughter's home..
      ..actually this story should be over here..Normally..
      But then another Person or the same person (we don't know) the person got her attention..her friend suspects it's the same person..(that's an intersting idea)
      is getting her attention online while she is writing her book about the scam..
      ..and out of money as she is..drown out of everything..and then she gets again online and having a conversation with somebody she trusts and he is giving her a ticket for a vacation..
      If she would have a single cell she could request to have the police cap and picture of her husband and family at her cell..
      And her Bible. And the Constitution of her country.
      That would give her some more hope and privacy.
      I hope and pray that she may come out of this chinese prison one day soon.
      I hope this TV Station will make another story about that particular case then again.
      It was very well and professionally made.
      Let's hope and pray may she be free someday soon in the future. She does not deserve to be in that chinese prison any day longer.
      🥰❤🍀🙏

      This is ridiculous.
      Who is getting married online?
      There rules and laws to that.
      A marriage and a divorce are a very personal thing.
      Both should happen in person. As a ceremony. Eye to Eye signing also the papers of the absolutely important papers for lifetime.
      Anything else I would consider as illegal.

      For goodness sakes, Never say never. Seriously. In fact, of the 2.4 million scam reports in 2021, young people are still the fastest growing demographic - and more likely to report being victimized by scams. These scams grow more and more sophisticated by the day.
      For example, in 2021, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z young adults (ages 18-59) were 34% more likely than older adults (ages 60+) to report losing money to fraud.
      Consumers reported losing almost $8.8 billion to scams and fraud in 2022, up 30% over 2021’s losses, according to newly released numbers from the (FTC). The rising cost of these crimes is staggering, considering that in 2020 Americans lost only $3.5 billion to fraud, including identity theft.

Granted, I'd never have accepted the free trip from someone I'd never met but that's because I tend to distrust things that are too good to be true.
    I think she had a lovely marriage and was surrounded by good, honest people, and evil like this would never have entered her mind. It's horrible that monsters prey on innocent people and that people blame the victim for what happened.
