Very good development. Some level of fear will now develop in them.

There'll certainly be a decline in online scams emanating from Nigeria with time.

You sound so pained.

I understand. Apparently life is too hard for you and you cannot afford even a bicycle, much less a car

Just 6months?

250k fine?


Foolish judge

250k fine for a yahoo boy?! I wondered as well. Before the judge read his judgement finish. The boys go don dey ask for bank in which to transfer to.
Well, I'm not particularly shocked cos even Salisu Buhari (the house of rep Toronto certificate saga during OBJ) got 3k only as optional fine with all the national outcry.

Really?

Kindly continue with your miserable life of crime.

Remember that your mother warned you, your father told you the exact things everybody- including the EFCC is telling you now.

You will remember we all told you when, like Naira Marley, the judge asks that you be remanded in prison custody and your shameless face wouldn't be able to face the cameras.

We will never get it right in this country walahi.with an option of fine bawo.. someone that stole or about to steal millions given option of fine 250k..let's just disband efcc cos I don't get the point..after wasting billions setting up efcc. U now secure 6months/250k convictions..
Minimum,these guys should serve 5 years.to serve as deterrent to others...I can't even have a Yahoo boy as my close friend..

This govt has failed us seriously..

Is any yahoo boy begging you to be their friend. you people would just be coming on social media and shouting like one zoo animal...

Inhibitions:
Wtf this is not a setencing. There are going to pay the 250k fine and walk. Judge don collect money. Lol person do fraud by car, you give am 6 months or fine. Our judicial system is a joke, no wonder our politicians can still 1.3b and pay 100m as fine.

Naira Marley too would pay 5million and work free.

I too felt so previously but you'd be shocked how criminals dread apprehension and prison.

Sleep a week in Kirikiri prison and your brain will reset. And remember that majority are treated as first offenders and the judge will bear this in mind.

It will have some positive effect. It will lead to a reduction in the rate of online scammers as some will find some honest business to plough money into. Others will be deterred from entering the scam trade.

All this jalamia packaging they use to dress to court.Anyway 250k I am sure they do pay,smart Yahoo boys always know the law and do crime they can easily exit without much stress.Hopefully with the conviction they do stay out of the radar.The only thing I don't know is Efcc photo of shaming them.Not every body can handle been shamed.

Two Yahoo boys in Lagos have been convicted and jailed for 6 months by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The Internet fraudsters identified as Temitope Samson and Uduogwu Freeborn Eboagwu, were sentenced by Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State, The agency reports.

The convicts were arraigned today on an amended two-count charge bordering on possession of fraudulent documents containing false information, an offence contrary to Section 318 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State No. 11 of 2011.

One of the counts reads:

“That you, Temitope Samson, on or about the 14th day of March, 2019 in Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, had in your possession documents containing false pretence with the heading “Google Account Profile” , wherein you falsely represented yourself as Kaliyah Salius, which representations you knew or ought to know, having regards to the circumstances of the case, that the document contains false pretence.”

Another count reads:

“That you, Uduogwu Freeborn Eboagwu, on or about the 14th day of March, 2019 in Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, had in your possession documents containing false pretence with the heading “Devoted”, wherein you falsely represented yourself as Fred Fernando, which representations you knew or ought to know, having regards to the circumstances of the case that the document contains the false pretence.”

The defendants pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against them by the Commission.

In view of their guilty pleas, prosecution counsel, Joy Amahian, urged the court to convict and sentence them according to the Criminal Law of Lagos.

However, counsel to the defendants pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, saying, “My Lord, they are first time offenders and will never go back to Internet fraud, if given an option of fine and/ or community service.”

Justice Taiwo convicted and sentenced them to six months in prison each, with an option of fine of N250, 000.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira).

Justice Taiwo also ordered that the three laptops, two phones and two cars recovered from the defendants be forfeited to the Federal Government.

Corrupt system..those phones and laptops are going to the judge's children

That EFCC should first tell us how he got the job? Was it by Merit or through backdoor? That's where corrution fighting should start from.

Yahoo boys apologists about to storm these threads.

They are just as bad as armed robbers, corrupt politicians, etc. You can deceive yourself trying to justify their nonsense but it won't work.

250k is too small. Some of the victims of these clowns actually die.

True!!!

This is Nigeria


Las Las they'd fine Naira Marley 50k

AKswift:

He is not foolish; the judgement was delivered in accordance with the laws of the country for such offense.

If we want stricter punishment for fraudulent related crimes, there is need to modify the laws so that judges would act accordingly.

Then why hide as a Yahoo boy when the fine is just 250k?

PaulSimon2020:
If only you have an idea how these lazy tards tarnish the image of Nigeria and hard working Nigerians in international community!

Am not supporting yahoo boys, but our polithiefcians has done more damage on us.

Good news.

Two off the streets!!!
