Becareful When You Come Across This

We all use public bathrooms or stay in hotel rooms, and not to scare you, but do you really know who is watching you while you're going about your business?

Technology moves at the speed of light with new products and gadgets meant to make our lives easier, but there is also a dark side — one you might not even realize you're seeing until it's too late. There are people looking to prey on others by engaging in criminal activity, and it can be as easy as installing a hook.

While these may look like ordinary hooks, they're actually meant for a far darker purpose.

Notice the double hooks, which are not usually the standard in coat hooks.

Anything look a little off to you?

They can be easily attached to any wall in the home or places like a public bathroom, and you probably wouldn't even give them a second thought.

But be warned — if you see this in a public bathroom or a hotel room, please leave immediately and call the authorities.

So what’s the big deal about an innocent-looking hook?

Because hidden inside this wall hook is a tiny camera that records people in the bathroom, hotel rooms, and change rooms.

Women in particular have been recorded while in the shower or changing without their knowing.

They’re privacy is completely violated, and they aren’t even aware of it.

Pretty horrifying, right?

Doesn’t it make you think back to every hotel room you’ve ever stayed in and wonder if you were secretly being watched?

Shockingly, these sneaky little cameras are easy to find and even easier to install.

The camera comes with a charger and transfer cable, and the hook is like any other found at a hardware store.

The camera records video and audio through the small hole at the top.

Often times, the footage from the camera end up on the Internet for the world to see without the knowledge of the person featured in it.

That hole is a giveaway that something is NOT right with the hook and that criminal activity could be going on.

But it gets worse.

Want to know what makes it even creepier?

These wireless cameras can be recorded remotely, and the wireless remote control works through walls. 

So someone could be watching the footage as close as the next room.

That’s enough to make you never want to check into a hotel again.

One thing you might notice is that it's set somewhere in a room that is out of place.

For example, if you see a hook in a place that doesn’t make sense for a hook to be, trust your instincts.

Sometimes you can see the light when the camera is recording.

That’s your sign to get out of dodge and call the police immediately.

What makes this so scary is that these spy camera hooks are accessible, inexpensive, and easy to purchase by criminals.

While they were originally created to increase security around your home, in the hands of the wrong people, they can make it easy to prey on unsuspecting victims.

Thankfully, knowledge is power.

If you know that coat hangers can contain cameras and are extra vigilant when traveling or using a public facility to undress, you’ll be able to protect yourself from unwanted snooping.

Sadly, it seems to be getting more and more common by the day, but if we spread awareness that this is going on, we can help to shut it down.

Because no one should be able to take your privacy away from you.

Strong Quake Rooted Iran-Iraq Border

Over 170 people have been killed and over 1,000 injured when a 7.3-magnitude earthquake rooted the mountainous Iran-Iraq border triggering landslides that hindered rescue efforts, officials said Monday.

Panicked people fleeing a building in Sulaimaniyah, northern Iraq, as windows shattered, as posted on twitter.

The quake struck late Sunday, while images from the nearby town of Darbandikhan showed major walls and concrete structures collapsed.

“There are 164 people dead and more than 1,686 injured,” Behnam Saidi, the deputy head of the Iranian government’s crisis unit set up to handle the response to the quake, told state television.

Six others were reported dead on the Iraq side of the border.

We are in the process of setting up three emergency relief camps,” said Mojtaba Nikkerdar, the deputy governor of Iran’s Kermanshah province.

The quake hit 30 kilometres (19 miles) southwest of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan at around 9.20 pm, when many people would have been at home, the US Geological Survey said.

Iran’s emergency services chief Pir Hossein Koolivand said it was “difficult to send rescue teams to the villages because the roads have been cut off… there have been landslides”.

The worst-hit towns in Iran were Qasr-e Shirin in Kermanshah and Azgaleh, about 40 kilometres northwest, the official IRNA news agency said.

It added that 30 Red Cross teams had been sent to the quake zone, parts of which had experienced power cuts.

In Iraq, officials said the quake had killed six people in Sulaimaniyah province and injured around 150.

In Sulaimaniyah, residents ran out onto the streets and some damage to property was reported, an AFP reporter there said.

“Four people were killed by the earthquake” in Darbandikhan, the town’s mayor Nasseh Moulla Hassan told AFP.

A child and an elderly person were killed in Kalar, according to the director of the hospital in the town about 70 kilometres south of Darbandikhan, and 105 people injured.

– Residents flee homes in Turkey –

The quake, which struck at a relatively shallow depth of 25 kilometres, was felt for about 20 seconds in Baghdad, and for longer in other provinces of Iraq, AFP journalists said.

On the Iranian side of the border, the tremor shook several cities in the west of the country including Tabriz.

It was also felt in southeastern Turkey, “from Malatya to Van”, an AFP correspondent said. In the town of Diyarbakir, residents were reported to have fled their homes.

The quake struck along a 1,500 kilometre fault line between the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates, a belt extending through western Iran and into northeastern Iraq.

The area sees frequent seismic activity.

In 1990, a 7.4-magnitude quake near the Caspian sea in northern Iran killed 40,000 people and left 300,000 more injured and half a million homeless. Within seconds the quake reduced dozens of towns and nearly 2,000 villages to rubble.

Thirteen years later, a catastrophic quake struck the ancient southeast Iranian city of Bam, famed for its mud brick buildings, killing at least 31,000 people and flattening swathes of the city.

Since then, Iran has experienced at least two major quake disasters, one in 2005 that killed more than 600 and another in 2012 that left some 300 dead.

More recently, a 5.7-magnitude earthquake near Iran’s border with Turkmenistan in May killed two people, injured hundreds and caused widespread damage.

Impregnated JSS 2 Student Gves Birth

A Junior Secondary School 2 student of Government Day Secondary School (GDSS) Tunga-Minna, who was allegedly impregnated by the Vice Principal, Malam Mohammed Mohammed, has been delivered of a baby boy.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minor gave birth at Injita village in Munya Local Government Area of Niger, last week.

NAN also reports that Mohammed, who was arraigned on April 4, is currently standing trial on a two-count charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a child and impregnating a female student.

The accused was remanded in prison for three months after he pleaded not guilty to the charge, before he was granted bail in the sum of N1 million by Magistrate Fatima Auna.

According to Auna, Mohammed’s action contravened sections 35 and 36 of the 1999 constitution and sections 341 and 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The victim, who spoke with newsmen on Tuesday in Munya, disclosed that she gave birth to a baby boy at her native village because her guardian in Minna took her back to her parents in August.

She said that the Vice Principal had not come to see her, and solicited the assistance of the state government to carter for the child.

The minor, however, said that the incident would not stop her from realising her dream of becoming a Nurse.

“I am not happy to be a mother at this tender age, but I will not allow the incident to shatter my dreams of becoming a nurse.

“I want to return to school as quickly as possible because I still want to become a Nurse,” she said.

She advised young girls to be committed to their studies report any form of abuse to the school authority or their parents.

Malam Haruna Galadima, the 65-year-old father of the girl, who also spoke with newsmen, decried the total neglect of the victim by the accused, saying that the girl did not receive any assistance during the pregnancy.

He urged the state government to assist his daughter to return to school and also ensure justice for her.

“When I heard of the pregnancy, I regretted sending her to school. I kept wondering why a teacher, who is supposed to teach and correct her, was the one responsible for her predicament.

“I want the man who put her in the family way to take full responsibility of his baby’s needs,” he said.

In her reaction, Mrs. Mairam Kolo, Director-General, Niger State Child Rights Protection Agency, said that the agency had asked the education ministry to give part of the Vice Principal’s salary to the girl as upkeep allowance.

Kolo gave assurance that the agency would ensure justice for the victim and also facilitate her return to school. (NAN)

Farming is The Best Option

Agricultural and Rural Development Secretary in the FCT, Mr Stanley Nzekwe, has persuade residents to participate actively in agricultural activities to ensure food security.

The Secretary said in a briefing on Sunday in Abuja as part of closing activities marking this year’s World Food Day.

According to the Secretary, constant activity engagement in agricultural activities will help to control the effect of food insufficiency.

The theme of 2017 World Food Day is “Change the Future of Migration: Invest in Food Security and Rural Development.”

The secretary noted that the whole essence of life revolved around food and shelter.

He said “this year’s World Food Day was anchored around President Muhammadu Buhari’s promise to the citizens of  Nigeria about self-sufficiency in food production and the call on us to feed ourselves.

“So, I am urging FCT residents and indeed the entire nation to know that whatever you do in life is geared toward feeding.

“Therefore, this year, in preparation for dry season farming, every man and every family must plant something.”

He appealed to residents to farm around their houses if they did not have farmlands.

He said, “let us have a system where we have the zeal to produce for ourselves and the commercial farmers can produce to feed themselves and take some to the market.”

He explained that the FCT had put tremendous effort toward food production by providing seedlings, pesticides and some implements.

He added that several areas had been mapped out for agriculture activities.

He pointed out that “over 5,000 hectares of land are under plantation with giant elephant grass, which can enhance cattle production and eliminate clash between herdsmen and farmers in FCT.

“There is also the value-added chain on ensuring that what we produce is not wasted by not effectively processing agricultural products.”

Nzekwe also said that Central Bank of Nigeria’s Anchor Borrower’s Programme had given a real boost to agriculture productivity in FCT and nationwide.

“This is because the FCT has provided over 100 hectares of land for cluster farming across the six area councils.”
