In a recent statement issued by the Oyo State Police Command, women are urged to exercise caution when associating with internet fraudsters, as the notion of a “God-fearing Yahoo Boy” is dismissed. The warning comes amidst reports of fraudulent activities leading to ritualistic practices involving the use of body parts, allegedly belonging to girlfriends.
Commissioner Adebola Hamzat emphasized the need for women to remain vigilant and discerning, especially in their interactions with individuals involved in online fraud. Instances of women being dropped off in flashy cars, only to later be seen wandering the streets, have raised concerns about their safety and well-being.
The police command underscored the importance of hard work and contentment, advocating for legitimate means of earning a living. The message conveyed a blessing to those engaged in lawful endeavors, highlighting the dignity in honest labor and expressing hopes for their continued success.
Addressing the women directly, the command urged them to stay sharp and vigilant, dispelling the notion of a “God-fearing Yahoo Boy” and emphasizing the need for caution in their associations.
The statement serves as a reminder of the risks associated with involvement in fraudulent activities and reinforces the importance of ethical behavior and integrity in society.
