EFCC goes about rounding up innocent students and tag them fraudsters, then our typical brain-dead bloggers would post the story on cyberspace.

I really don't understand what Owerri has turned into?

Boys are into yahoo yahoo. Girls are into runs. An average SS2 girl in Owerri has slept with at least 4 men (To be fair ooo).

No young person wants to work. All they want is quick money. A time will come when artisans won't see who to teach work again because nobody wants to learn work.

May God save that city.

And again i say, the sins in the world now is far more than the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, and yet God destroyed them.
To be honest, is there any meaningful work in this country? How much is house rent? Graduate dey collect 30k as salary

Does that mean one should go commit crime?

Operatives of the EFCC, on Friday, December 13, 2019, arrested 29 suspected internet fraudsters, better known as Yahoo Yahoo Boys in three different locations in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

The haul included a 16-year-old undergraduate. The suspects, who are believed to have used different pseudo names to defraud their unsuspecting victims, were arrested following intelligence and three days surveillance on their hideouts in Bishops Courts’ Malo Lodge, Umuagu Mbieri and King David’s Suite in Owerri. Five cars that include:

No work my brother, I'm a graduate and I'm yet to secure a good job. What about those who don't have any mean of catering for themselves and their old looking frail parents. Crime is bad but man must chop o. Blame the government and the dilapidated rugged system

He lied.
If he is telling the truth, let him produce the receipt or bank transaction
and petition EFCC headquarters.

EFCC does not request nor collect bail.
The guy probably don't know the meaning of bail.

If he indeed paid such money, then he bribed an officer to be set free and that is not a bail.

EFCC charges suspects to court and the court sets bail condition which is supervised by the court.
No money is paid to EFCC.

EFCC in Owerri collects money from yahoo guys they caught. Maybe they're not meant to collect money but they do here. He's not even the first. It's common knowledge over here. The guy was even paraded, like these guys in this post. And they don't give receipts for bail. Even police doesn't do that.
SARS is even worse. They arrested someone living in my street and they used the guy's delivery company email to bill the guy's client

Then they are fast becoming like regular policemen interested in only bribe.
Those payments are illegal.
If the guy is innocent, he should petition EFCC's headquarter.

About 50 people were arrested in a bar near my place the other day.
Many have been freed without paying a dime.
The others have been charged to court and are preparing to apply for bail from the court.

Those Owerri EFCC agents are thieves.

The guilty are often afraid. They can't petition anyone as most of them that pay such money are not clean. The crooked agents know this, they just want their own share of the so called "national cake." As long as criminals exists, crooked cops will forever smile to the bank.

It's a well-known fact that they're not really catching guys for the crime. The major reason why they go after these guys is to extort them. They use the yahoo boys to make money. Some guys even have their own informants in EFCC and SARS who provide them with information of which areas they'll be raiding, and the informants are paid monthly salaries by these guys.
A yahoo guy who was duped by his fellow yahoo guy can pay and 2 SARS guys will be assigned to him to arrest the yahoo guy that duped him. Happened to my neighbor. In the end, each of the SARS guys got 150k.

The entire system is messed up

They arrest innocent guys too. In Owerri, they'll raid an entire building and arrest all the young guys and if you're innocent, you'll still pay to be released. I'm a freelance web developer but everyday I'm afraid if I get arrested. It's easier if you have a brick-and-mortar business. At least you can show them where you make money from. They believe everyone who makes money from their laptop is an internet fraudster

Stop beating ur chest on what u don't know.. EFCC collects money from made men not these small small boys managing to buy car of 2m plus.. It's not official and it's not bail. It's settlement. It all goes down separately from the court bail conditions. Totally separate and different.
