EFCC proposes rehabilitation programme for Yahoo Yahoo Boys

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is proposing the rehabilitation of suspects arrested in connection with cyber crime (Yahoo Yahoo Boys), saying most of them were undergraduate students of universities and  other tertiary institurions.

Acting Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, who suggested this in Abuja over the weekend, said the EFCC was working with universities towards stemming the ride of cyber crime in the country.

While expressing worries over the surge in internet-related fraud cases, Magu vowed the anti-graft agency’s readiness to isolate and apprehend all suspects, regardless of wherever they may be hiding.

“We also have to see how we can rehabilitate, because I realised that most of them (suspected Yahoo Yahoo Boys) are very young boys in the university; they are students.

“Now, if we arrest all of them and jail…them, it is a very sad story. I think we should also adopt a rehabilitation situation.

“We must work with the universities, higher institurions, to see how we can curtail, arrest the menace of Yahoo Yahoo,” Magu said.

According to him, the anru-graft agency had set for itself a task of testoring the country’s good image, pledging never to waiver in that commitment.
