They were convicted and sentenced to various jail terms on Tuesday, after the court found them guilty of the separate counts brought against them by the EFCC.

In one of the charges against the convicts, particulars of the charge sheet against Abdulbasit read; “That you, Ismail Abdulbasit between in February 2024 at Malete, Kwara State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, fraudulently impersonate one Jason Boone from United States of America with intent to gain advantage for yourself thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22(2)(b)(ii) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention Etc.)

Don't Involve Yourself Into FRAUD, Is Very Bad

You will never see any politician (the actual and master fraudsters) "jailed" except these younglings whose destinies have been reshaped negatively by the government...

When will court jail our thieving politicians

why na.maw them free them asap.

When will they arrest the senators who pocketed 50M each?

When will they jail the chief yahoo boy? The builder of Lagos.
Agba yahoo

Leave working boy alone useless government

Shey Gmail
Ma shey Yahoo

Make una dey play. Feeding from the poor enriching the rich… Dis con3 don go ajeh

Poor boys will poor money, where ur mate dey file for loan dey use ssn and numbers dey collect from id.me ..
If not for military 🪖 hmmm

The country and its youths are a reflection of its leaders and politicians, gorilla no fit born goat and dog no fit born cat.

EFCC showing James Bond on small fish who are barely trying to survive in the wrong way and leave the original yahoo men and prolific thieves from time immemorial.

If you still believe Nigeria can be good or great in your time you must be mentally unstable and far from reality, I have stopped hoping for years now and I am certain Nigeria is doomed .

let me...do this
The other day one ignoramus person said "yahoo boys are very smart", I answered her by saying, there is nothing smart about, faking your identity then begging for dollars online, both are ignoble actions.
One time I was so broke and I asked one of my old friends for 15k(to complete my rent), that was when he had the audacity to tell to get an iphone and install mingles, I quickly tell him "you want me to do dating scam" he said "guy u even sabi this computer things pass us". Just about 2 weeks later I got a contract to build a bitcoin pooling site later one of my proposal to cbn was approved and within a year or so, I moved to a new apartment, bought a car, a plot of land and started my building project.
The society(Night clubs, music, car sellers vio/roadsafety, family, religious organization) should stop encouraging this young folks, there is nothing noble in dating scam, investment scams, altcoin scams, stealing people's facebook, whatsap identity etc. the way some of them suffer before they can make even 100 dollars, you will be wondering if it is by force to do crime, if they had put the same energy in any legit business, they would have probably be better of. There are many ways to earn legit online. Our UX/UI guy who just resumed 3 months ago just got another remote job and he is shuffling both, he averages nothing less than 300k monthly now.

And no political thief has been jailed in recent months 😞. Nigeria is a big joke. I pity those shouting " I'M PROUD OF NAIJA".

Another 6 bite the dust!!!

Nawa oo

#SayNoToFraud

There are thousands ways to earn legitimate money online...

stop wasting your talent on internet fraud.

why all of them look alike Abi na camera 🎥. Well anyway say no to fraud

Nothing you wan tell me, EFCC is scared of Yahaya Bello
Sen. Ningi raised some alarm over padding but no arrests have been made. Over 90% of the unproductive, looting machines in the house have one form of corruption case or another but funnily, none of the has been put behind bars
If you wan steal for Naija, do it big. Even the police will be your orderly, take a look at your politicians, they are a testament to that fact
If you steal small, otilor

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

So if them no fit scam pple, them no go fit chop, pay rent, or bills. Which kind life be that? And them go still dey proud of themselves. They re so dumb

Ilorin and Abeokuta are the hub of yahoo boys.

Emilokans boys
