Unemployed and desperate, 24-year-old Taiwo Bamidele saw an opportunity
as soon as he met his Lagos-based friend, Akinkunmi Odetunde, during a
wedding ceremony in Akure, Ondo State on Saturday, May 9, 2015. If he
had anything on his mind at the time, it would have been the hope that
his life might change for the better once he reached Lagos.

Bamidele saw him, he immediately asked to follow him to Lagos in search
of greener pastures.
