Top 10 Richest Yahoo Boy In Nigeria - Yahoo Boys In Ibadan Oyo Go Into Hiding As EFCC Intensifies Clampdown
Internet fraudsters in Ibadan, Oyo State popularly regarded as ‘Yahoo Boys’ or ‘G-Boys’ have been going into hiding as the foremost anti-graft agency in Nigeria - Economic and Financial Crimes Commission continues its massive raid of their hide-outs.
The EFCC stemmed up its harvest of the fraudsters across Nigeria with serious arrests recorded in Ibadan, Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ilorin and other major cities in the country this year thereby unsettling the scammers living flamboyant lives.
One of the largest cities in West Africa - Ibadan, of late has become a safe haven for Yahoo Boys taking refuge in the suburbs of the city of brown roofs.
The story seems to be different this year as agents of the EFCC have been raiding the fraudsters at different locations with their suspected proceeds of fraud seized from them.
A panicky source told Tori News he has been keeping a low profile to avoid the prying eyes of the EFCC.
Tori News was also informed that some Yahoo Boys have been taking up menial jobs temporarily to the EFCC operatives who they believe are operating undercover in Ibadan.
Another source named Gabriel (not real name) revealed how he has been unable to drive the fairly used multi millionaire Honda Crosstour he just purchase with his loot.
Another fraudster, a young man in his late 20s who doubles as a music record label owner complained to a Tori News correspondent that the ‘fraud deals’ have been slow of late due to the activities of the EFCC officials. He alleged they seem to be working in concert with members of the controversial Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS or prostitutes popularly regarded as ‘Oloshos’ in intelligence gathering.
Most of the Yahoo Boys this paper contacted believe the heat is nothing but a ‘momentary madness’ which the EFCC can’t sustain.
Haruna revealed that they expect the war on Yahoo Boys to wind down in two months time. He went on to explain that the officials of the anti-corruption agency are hard to ‘negotiate’ with.
"Its very difficult to bribe these guys. They will dig out everything you are hiding. Even if they will set you free, they will make sure they strip you Nakked financially" he added.
Rumours making the round in Ibadan revealed the EFCC arrested one popular and established Yahoo Boy named Leke and rendered him bankrupt.
