"Graftitfa" in Nigeria.

Among the cOmmonest and most
troublesome OF the offenses with
which the courts of Nigeria have to
deal, however, is that of cersonation
or extorgion. Wearing fez cap or
uniform or carrying some discarded
envelope carelessly dropped, a man
will present himself at a village and
claliu by this token to be an emssary
from the government. The credulous
natives deliver up all he demands.
Any hesitation is met by the threat
that on MS report the government will
destroy the town. Many cases have
been before the courts in which such
extortion had been going on for
months undiscovered.
