The iniquities of internet fraudsters, otherwise known as ‘Yahoo Boys’, are becoming worrisome in the Niger Delta. Many promising destinies have gone under in their prime and several others littering the streets after losing their sanity to mind-bending substances and diabolical ritual misadventure. EBENEZER ADUROKIYA, ALPHONSUS AGBORH, HENDRIX OLIOMOGBE, ONYEMA GODWIN, EBIOWEI LAWAL and INIOBONG EKPONTA probe into their mode of operations, the worrisome number of youths gone under and the unfathomable tacit support and encouragement some of them derive from their greedy and gullible parents as well as how the menace can be checkmated.
In parts of Delta State, internet fraudsters are tagged the ‘White Club’ because of the flashy white expensive cars they are identified with. From Agbor to Ogwashi Uku and to Asaba, from Oghara to Sapele, Abraka, Warri, Ughelli and other parts of the oil-producing state, the recklessness of these boys on the roads is beyond imagination. The maim, kill and, in most cases, get away with their recklessness even when arrests are made.
