No fewer than 15 suspected Internet fraudsters(Yahoo boys)
have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for
offences bordering on obtaining by false pretence, lottery scam and love scam.
The suspects are: Adeyemi Tiwatope, 20; Odeyemi Olawale, 20;
Nike Afolabi Olaiya, 20; Awe Abimbola Ireti, 23; Yusuf Aliu Oluwafemi, 20;

Adetola, 18; Adewale Babatunde, 17; Afolabi Lekan, 19; Awe Ayodele, 24 and
Adeyemi Gbadebo, 19.
The suspects were arrested on Saturday, February 3, 2018 in
the Shotubo and Awoluwo areas of Sagamu, Ogun State.
Their arrest followed intelligence report received by the
Commission about their criminal activities.
They were alleged to be living flamboyantly without
legitimate sources of income.
Items recovered from the suspects include laptops, phones
bearing scanned forged documents, six exotic cars, charms and SIM cards, among
others.
Meanwhile, in a related development, the EFCC also recovered
coffins, calabashes and gourds from the home of a suspected kingpin of a
syndicate of fraudsters, Adesanya R. Olaoluwa, who is currently under the EFCC
watch.
Olaoluwa is alleged to be a herbalist who performs rituals
for fraudsters to hypnotise unsuspecting victims.
The suspects will soon be charged to court as soon as
investigations are concluded.
This ain't love for money, but pure obsession.
Nigeria is full of young men who want to get rich quickly without breaking a sweat.
