Magu makes shocking revelation about ‘Yahoo boys’ mothers

By Muhammad A. Aliyu

The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has revealed that mothers of internet fraudsters, popularly known as ‘Yahoo’ boys’ are now forming associations.

Magu disclosed this to reporters at the anti-graft agency’s office in Lagos on Thursday.

The EFCC boss said mothers are now supporting their children doing internet fraud.

He said such parents always justify their children’s activities with the arguments that they were supporting their families in the place of irresponsible, runaway or dead fathers.

Magu stated that the EFCC is not only arresting ‘Yahoo’ boys’ but also working on their rehabilitation.
