SHOCKING: See What EFCC Recovered From 37 “Yahoo Boys”
The South-east Zonal Office of EFCC, on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 arrested 37 suspected internet fraudsters known as yahoo boys in Owerri, Imo State.
They were arrested following a raid they carried on some targeted residences in Okwu Urata, Aladinma and Egbu areas.
EFFC nabbed the suspected fraudsters following the intelligence report they received that the suspects were living lavish lifestyles without any known means of livelihood, alleging further that they specialize in defrauding unsuspecting victims, through the internet.
Items which included laptop computers, 25 five exotic cars, several brands of Mercedez-Benz, Lexus,Toyota and expensive mobile phones, were recovered during search warrant.
The Zonal Head, Usman Imam, while speaking on the development said the exercise was in line with the Commission’s mandate and condemned the high rate of cybercrime in the zone.
Imam said, “it is true that no society has been able to totally eradicate crime, but we are ready at least to reduce it to the barest minimum and it appears that this cybercrime is one of the challenges of our time, which the EFCC is willing to face drastically,”
