Two Norwegian men to be reported to police for trying to bribe APN with 50.000 Kr for the source of a story!
Posted by africanpress on December 13, 2006
After we made public the story of the woman who is being abused by her husband, two men have approached APN with 50 000 kroner, so that they may get the name of the woman who has come forward with the information to APN, saying she is being molested by her man and that she has resorted to getting an African boyfriend.
The men wanted to bribe APN in order to be told who the woman we interviewed is, and also wanted the names of the 15 women who are planning to start the action group to fight for respect from their men.
We know giving them the name of our source is wrong. We know giving them the names of the 15 women is wrong. And we know that they want to know them so that they start to intimidate and scare them off.
APN can now reveal that because of these men’s approach, and readiness to pay a lot of money as bribe, there are many other African women being molested out there, who want help to be freed from their Norwegian men who are holding them hostage for 3 years, while the women are waiting for their permanent residence permits.
The men who came have no connection with the woman we wrote about two days ago. The fact that the two approached us, and willing to pay for information of this kind means that they are also molesting their African women, and are afraid things might now come out.
The two men are having African women, and they told APN that their women have started sending a lot of sms messages in Kiswahili language, so that they do not understand what they are writing and to who.
When APN asked the two men what they intended to do if given the names, they did not hesitate to reveal their plans.
They also wanted to know if we have the list of all the 15 women, who plan to form the action group mentioned in our interview with the woman 2 days ago. They told APN that they would like to know, so that they take precautions immediately, because they paid tickets for them when they came to Norway.
APN told the men that their bribery efforts will be reported to the police, because it is a crime to bribe others. They were also told that APN will request the police to find out how their African women are being treated.
The meeting with them ended abruptly. They said they will do everything they could to stop a registration of any action group against Norwegian men having African women.
One of the men said his wife had no right to talk to any Africans in Norway, because he believes she will be misled by them.
The other man emphasised that he had paid dowry to the woman’s parents, and would demand back everything if the woman got an African man. However, he says he would not demand anything back after e 3 years if the woman left him and returned to Kenya.
This is a shock to us in APN. This way is like slavery. The man feels he has bought her and has the right to use her for 3 years. An only will agree being left by the woman on condition she returns to Africa.
This kind of behaviour and treatment must not be condoned any longer.

These stories are shocking.
I am a Kenyan woman living in Finland for about 12years. I have never experienced, or heard of such stories here (that doesnt mean they are not there).
When Norway was declared the “BEST” country to live in, I concindered moving there with my kids. Having read all these racists behaviours, I think Finland is heaven for me.
These morons go for holidays in our country, and lure young girls to come with them to Europe, only to mistreat them. Kenyan ladies, please be aware of these racial predators. Slavery is long gone, do not let anyone treat you like you are a lesser human being.
We might be less advantaged economically, but we are to be treated like anyone else. Do not be silenced, fight for your rights!
