PRESS STATEMENT:

MAKURDI, NEVER A HIDEOUT FOR FRAUDSTERS, YAHOO BOYS - MKEENEM DECLARES

The Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Benue State on Youth Mobilization and Empowerment/State Youth Leader, Hon. Mkeenem Moses FIMC, CMC has declared that Makurdi, the Benue State Capital is never a hideout for fraudsters and Yahoo boys.

Worried by the alarming activities of internet fraudsters and Yahoo boys, the State Youth Leader in a statement on Wednesday, 12th June, 2024 maintained that Makurdi was never a hideout for internet fraudsters and Yahoo boys.

He stressed that Benue youths under his leadership must collaborate and rise up now to end the activities of internet fraudsters and Yahoo boys in the State capital.

According to him, anybody no matter how highly placed in the State but accommodating such criminals, stand the risk of sharing their misfortunes as the hideouts whether Hotels or individual residence must either be demolished or sealed as a preventive measure for fraudulent activities in Benue State.

The State Youth Leader warned perpetrators and those giving them accommodation, most especially Hotel owners to desist with immediate effect else be willing to face the consequences.

He also lamented the effects of such fraudulent activities which he noted appear to be an uncontrollable plague but that it was pertinent to say laws have been created to act as a shield over cyberspace but protecting and preventing the occurrence of any such fraudulent activities within Benue must be achieved under his leadership as the State Youth leader.

He added that such fraudulent activities mostly perpetrated by the youth were already destroying their future and that of their victims. He regretted the death rate of the younger generation, especially young girls believed to be victims of Yahoo Plus.

Hon. Mkeenem further urged Benue youths to support the Governor Alia's administration and the EFCC in fighting Cybercrime in the State by being good ambassadors and role models both within the State and in the diaspora.
