The trial judge found them guilty after their plea of guilt and having carefully evaluated the facts of the case and evidence placed before the court.

Kwara state and fraud - 5 & 6

ChiefSosa:
Men are getting scarce everyday. I feel yahoo boys should be rehabilitated. They should be made to return their loots after being arrested, serve some time(probably some months, depending on the crime intensity), then rehabilitated. They should then be provided with good paying jobs, depending on their qualifications and abilities. The one without skills, should be taught skills, then fixed up for works. If after doing all these for them, they decide to return to yahoo, then they have no one else to blame but themselves when they're re-arrested.
But, with the kind of huge money these boys are seeing, I still don't know the good paying job the FG would give them that would make them abandon yahoo business. This yahoo matter tie wrapper abeg
