The ‘Yahoo-Yahoo’ business, formally known as cyber fraud in Nigeria’s cybercrime law, is not a new phenomenon in the country.
The illicit business, mostly perpetrated by young men and sometimes women, is an offshoot of the so-called ‘419’ business of the 1980s and 1990s.
The 419 code is derived from a section of the country’s Criminal Act Section 419 (Advance Free Fraud) which frowns at obtaining money from people through pretence or impersonation, cheating, falsification, counterfeiting, forgery and fraudulent representation of facts.
Internet fraud has now been here for decades and does not seem to be declining in spite of the government’s efforts to stem the tide of the crime that has given the country a bad reputation.

Traditional rulers in Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State have alleged that some men in military uniform led Fulani herdsmen into their communities, forcing them to accept the fact that cows will continue to graze on their farms.
The monarchs said the soldiers flogged their subjects who tried to explain that the herders and their animals destroy farms, causing unnecessary clashes in their communities.
The monarchs are the Oniggua of Iggua, Oba Micheal Dosumu; the Eselu of Iselu, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi; and the Alademeso of Igan Alade, Oba Gabriel Olalowo.
They were said to have, on January 7, forwarded a petition to the Brigade Commander, 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Tolu Odebiyi, the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has called for an investigation into the alleged harassment of his constituents by soldiers and Fulani herdsmen.
The Street Journal, in an earlier post, reported that Fulani herdsmen allegedly engaged the services of some soldiers to beat up farmers in some communities in Yewa land in Ogun State, for stopping their cattle from grazing over their farmland.
The Senator expressed displeasure at the incessant cases of harassment and brutalization caused by herders in Yewa land.
Odebiyi, in a statement by his media office on Saturday, therefore, demanded that a thorough investigation be carried out on the matter without further delay.
