OAP N6: Yahoo Boys Are Now Targeting Nigerians Because Y’all Encouraged Them
On Air Personality, N6, has said that the current trend of internet fraudsters (Yahoo boys) gaining access into the bank accounts of Nigerians and emptying it, is because they were encouraged.
He noted that people supported and encouraged Yahoo Yahoo when the victims were primarily white folks, but now that they have turned on their own the same are crying.
N6 stated this on the heels of a young lady disclosing that N4million was cleared from her account and an elderly woman losing her N800k life savings.
Taking to Twitter, the radio host wrote; “The Yahoo Yahoo that Nigerians. Supported and Encouraged when It was targeted at Defrauding mostly Oyibo & Foreigners don begin Nack regular Nigerians with Accounts in Nigerian Banks.”
In related news, social media commentator, Daniel Regha has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) to introduce a reward system that will make it easier for them to apprehend internet fraudsters aka Yahoo Boys.
He recommended that the EFCC should start offering cash rewards to people who disclose vital information about Yahoo boys to the commission.
Regha pegged the amount at N1million and noted that it will sufficiently motivate Nigerians to report fraudsters who may be their friends or family members.
He wrote; “The EFCC should start offering a cash reward to anyone who reports yahoo boys, a significant amt like N1m; This will get many people to snitch on friends, relatives & neighbours. The war against yahoo boys should be taken seriously cos these cybercriminals are nothing but monsters.”
