The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said it recorded no fewer than 200 arrests of Internet fraud suspects, popularly known as ‘Yahoo Boys’, in October alone.

The Acting Chairman of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, stated this at an interactive session with newsmen on Friday in Abuja.

According to Magu, the biggest catch of the commission was Instagram celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, a.k.a Mompha, and his Lebanese accomplice, Hamza Koudeih.

He said the suspects, who were “kingpins of an Organised Cyber Syndicate Network (OCSN)”, allegedly laundered a total of N33 billion.

Magu said: “Five wristwatches valued at over N60 million were recovered from Mompha at the point of arrest.

“Investigation has also revealed that he operates 51 bank accounts in Nigeria with which he acquired properties in Dubai and had laundered about N14 billion through Ismalob Global Investments Limited.

“His accomplice, Koudeih, also has two firms namely: THK Services Limited and CHK properties Limited with which he has allegedly laundered about N19 billion.

“Koudeih lives in a five million dollar per annum suite at the Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower, Victoria Island Lagos.’’

The EFCC boss said the arrests underscored the agency’s commitment to the fight against corruption and economic crime.

He added that there were also clear messages to “high end fraudsters that they can only run, but cannot hide, sooner than later, we will get them”.

“The effort to flush out all fraudsters continues. At the same time, we will sustain the tempo of vigorous prosecution of fraud cases in court.


“Indeed, fraudsters account for a huge percentage of the 890 convictions that has been recorded by the commission this year.

“A number of assets have been seized, while victims have also enjoyed restitution by order of court,” he said.

While noting that the battle “is far from being won”, the anti-corruption czar renewed his appeal for the support of stakeholders, especially the media, for the commission.


Magu said the youths, who were mostly involved in cyber fraud, needed sensitisation to the consequences of their actions not only to their future but to the nation’s image and economy.

He restated the commission’s resolve to rehabilitate those ready to turn a new leaf, and help them to put their skills to good use.

“The youth must learn the virtues of integrity and hard work as the path to sustainable wealth.


“They must realise that crime does not pay; rather it will destroy their prospects and ruin their chances of decent living.

“For those who are remorseful and prepared to turn a new leaf, the commission is fully disposed to help in channeling their energies and cyber skills to positive venture.

“We are considering a policy that will help in the rehabilitation of convicted, but repentant internet fraudsters.


“This is to ensure that their skills are positively applied in helping to build a better Nigerian society,” Magu said.

I laugh when people talk about yahoo boy, the funny thing is that almost all Nigeria family either have one yahoo boy or the one they don’t know about. grin

Yet some will come online to curse and insult the ones dem catch forgetting their friends and brothers are G-boy. At the end of the day, they will still go to dem to beg for money.

This country is heading for iceberg like titanic, if nothing is done – it will sink. It’s not about online prosecution and noise.

What are the government (fed, state, LG) doing to curb unemployment? Even some of us wey one learn legit online business, where the light or data?

But still; go legit, stay legit, legit pays!

True talk!

But trust Nigerians they will still dabaru the legit way of hustle so tey what was working and profiting all of us legally will become disfuntional.

Buhari anti corruption war is just part of his anti south policy.

Closing the seme border is just part of his anti south policy.

Some of these yahoo boys are not really yahoo boys.

Most of them do money laundering for federal and state government officials and politicians.

One thing is sure President Buhari anti corruption drive will end with his government.

It is not sustainable.

I don’t bt one can’t continue a life of crime forever. The right thing must be done at the end of the day. Becos of how easy or rather quick it is many youth have thrown away virtues and principles like patience and hardwork for money at any means and cost. If every youth becomes a yahoo boy what will become of our future? Exactly. Things have to change.

The government has to step up also and do the right things to guide the youths while trying to stop the vice.

Unemployment and crime rate are related

To help reduce unemployment
