Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command on Monday 26 December 2022 arrested four suspected internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo Boys, for abducting their colleague over sharing of proceeds of their fraud business.
The suspects, Agbe Simeon 'm', Messiah Nicky 'f', Oladapo Dolapo 'm', and Yetunde Shonola 'f' were arrested at Orile imo village in Obafemi Owode local government area of Ogun state, following information received by the Police at Owode Egba divisional headquarters, that one Haruna Usman, who had been abducted since Thursday, 22nd of December 2022, is being held hostage somewhere in Orile Imo.
Upon the information, the DPO Owode Egba division, CSP Popoola Olasunkanmi, quickly mobilized his men and stormed the area, where four of the abductors were apprehended while two others escaped.
Information available indicates that the victim and the suspects belong to an internet fraudster syndicate and that they recently swindled somebody whose identity is not yet known of the sum of twenty-six million, four hundred and thirty-seven thousand, nine hundred and fifty naira (#26,437,950), but the victim only gave the sum of #2,200 to his other colleagues, claiming that the money has not been paid completely by their client.
