As logged at issue

We think it's roughly a coin flip whether Nigerian authorities formally file trafficking or fraud charges against QNET/IGNITE ringleader Ouattra Adama within sixty days of his arrest, since Lagos made the arrest and named him publicly but West African prosecutorial follow-through on multinational fraud cases is inconsistent; a charge-sheet filing versus a quiet release or deportation is the clean signal either way.
