Busted! Police Uncover Secret Yahoo Training Center in Lagos
People operating an illegal school of sorts for internet fraud suspects-the so-called ‘Yahoo School’-in the Iju area of Lagos State were apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command. Hence, the setup being crushed had an actual glorified purpose.
In a statement released by the command’s spokesman, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, it was revealed that during the successful operation, the Police Detectives arrested four-(4) Yahoo masters recruiting students for the said-school namely Chibuike Ihejika, 23; Stanley Ihejika, 22; Obiora Oyediba, 26; and Emmanuel Oyediba, 25.
6 suspects, together with their 6 trainees undergoing programs in Internet cybercrime and fraud: Okorie Henry, Otoh Chisom, 20; Okeke Kwufrochikwu, 26; Uchenna Obeji, 26; Minachi Udochukwu, 12; and Chinedu Ukachukwu, 23.
‘’Preliminary investigations revealed that the principal suspects of the facility recruited their trainees from Anambra State, engaged them to commit internet fraud and other related crimes. The proceeds from their fraudulent activities were being confiscated by the principal suspects.
The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, for further discreet investigation and prosecution. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the sponsors who financed the trainees’ enrollment in the school and the owner of the facility where these criminal and illegal activities took place. The owner of the facility, in his own interest, is hereby warned to surrender himself at the SCID Panti immediately from wherever he is hiding.
Hundeyin stated that upon the conclusion of the case investigation, the Lagos State Police Command will ensure that all suspects are charged to court for prosecution.
He said that in accordance with due process of law, the underage suspect among them, 12-year-old Minachi Ugochukwu primarily was being given medical attention and kept in protective custody until his relatives are located and he is reunited with them, having had healing marks of injuries on his body that were allegedly inflicted on him by the principal suspect to coerce him into commission of the criminal acts.
He called on parents and guardians to monitor the activities of their children and wards.”
