“Yahoo boys” is a term used to describe young men in Nigeria who engage in fraudulent activities, particularly online fraud, also known as advance fee fraud or 419 scams. These individuals typically use email or social media to trick unsuspecting victims into sending them money, promising them a share of a large sum of money, inheritance, or other benefits in return.
The activities of yahoo boys have contributed to Nigeria’s negative image internationally, and have led to the country being blacklisted by financial institutions in some countries. In addition, these activities are illegal and can result in severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines.
The operatives of the Enugu Zonal Command of the EFCC, on Monday, April 3, 2023, arrested twenty-one suspected internet fraudsters in the Emene and New Kenyata, the axis of Enugu.
