Lagos, Nigeria – Sodiq Taiwo looks out of his bedroom window in Lagos, watching the children below as they play and bicker in the back yard. One of their favourite games is “police and thief”, where heroes chase down supposed criminals, mouthing “pew pew” as if to shoot down the wrongdoers.
Taiwo chuckles at the irony while waiting for Grand Theft Auto V (GTA) Online – an extension of the game franchise that allows players to roleplay as criminals – to finish installing on his computer.
