N: Other letters from South Americans now in prison in HK - here

O: In January 2018 I went to Sao Paulo and discovered that the Nigerians have moved their base from Galeria to canteen of 5/F of this building, a few buildings from Galeria in same street:

From my (restricted-access) diary for January 20, 2018:

 I feel like a mouse which has just visited the home of a family of cats. This afternoon I went to (the above) mall in Sao Paulo:

Up on the top right of the second top floor is where the Nigerians hang out who have sent so many drug mules to HK and other places. Over the past few days I've checked the possibility of someone from police or media to accompany me....but not possible/practical....so, with time running out...I went today by myself. I had my Cross on, identified myself and was taken by a "lookout" to the lower level of a cafe where the group of men hangs out. When some of them saw me they criticised the lookout for taking me to their location....but he cooled them down ...and I shook hands with each of them and gave each of them my card...and each of them a copy of this story which I'd photocopied this morning...and each of them a copy of the USB which explains what I'm doing...and told them I was helping Biafra (Eastern Nigeria where they all come from) before they were born (I helped organize a walkathon of some 10,000 Monash University students in Melbourne to raise funds for the people starving in Biafra during the civil war). The items I gave out were immediately taken up a staircase inside the cafe to someone (possibly Emeka) on the higher level of the cafe.

But when I started showing them photos of my Big Fish ....and they recognized the Fish named Emeka ... my guide advised me to leave before there was trouble....and he took me to a nearby cafe for a drink and a threatening lecture....which included the words "If you don't want to lose your trolley, if you don't want to lose your passport and your money, if you don't want to be penniless begging on the street....etc. etc...you go back to your own country and pray for the world".

The whole encounter was recorded....not easy to listen to on recording...voices don't start until after about 4 minutes because I started the recording before I went up 4 flights of escalators/stairs....maybe the most interesting bit is the section in Ibu (Nigerian) language when some of group objected to my presence...I look forward to hearing translation. Recording is about 50 minutes long....threatening lecture is in final 10 minutes. Recording is here

I made a fairly prompt exit....feeling like someone who'd just thrown a hand grenade into a nest of soldiers....and I took a taxi near ground floor exit to make sure I wasn't followed. ...

My lookout was in fact quite kind...he's an asylum seeker...been here 2 years he said...said his name was Bobby. I had told him how I'd been to Africa 3 times, had saved maybe a 100 Africans from going to prison in HK, was trying to stop S. Americans from going to prison, just wanted the whole drug mule thing to stop. He was half sympathetic, half threatening ... not really sure if I was crazy or what.

Maybe my action was crazy, but I have a feeling that it...together with a few other activities of these days....will cause a noticeable reduction in the number of poor people from this part of the world going to prison in HK.

Update: May 2018 - it is said that Frank Emeka has been arrested. To be verified.
