The tale of an Internet bride scam where a man believes he is getting married to a Liberian refugee in Mali who would offer him an $86,000 dowry. Beware of rich Internet brides or control your lust.
Obituary: Micheal Hill
Friday, 17 August 2007 5:57 A GMT+01
Micheal Hill, the father of the 3-year old girl kidnapped in Port Harcourt last month died of a heart attack last week. The ordeal must be attributable and the government really has to do something about that place and the criminality.
