Atlast Notorious Yahoo Boys Arrested By IGP Squad In Abuja

Guys don't allow yourself to be pushed into desperation by people who are spending money lavishly.

Ladies, don't compare your boyfriend or husband to people you don't know how they are making it.

There are many lazy folks today, all they are concerned about is enjoyment; money, money, money. It is wise not to allow yourself fall into that circle. Work hard/smart, and you will make it.

As you read this, Police authorities in Abuja have smashed a syndicate that specialised in robbing bank customers by swindling them of their ATM cards and pins.

They are "big boys", you will never suspect they are fraudsters.

Vanguard reports that the suspects, identified as David Wuese, Chika Okenyi, Omotayo Bamidele and Akura Godwin, were apprehended following complaints from members of the public to the Inspector General Police, Ibrahim Idris, who deployed his operatives at the Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, to trail and arrest the suspects.

Sources at Force Headquarters disclosed that members of the syndicate were trailed to Enugu, Benue and Nassarawa states, where they were arrested and over 70 ATM cards recovered from them. 

Confessions:The leader of the syndicate, 27yrs old David Wuese disclosed that the gang was formed in Makurdi, Benue State, and they carried out their activities across several states in the country. 

He said: “We read about something similar to our operation in the newspapers, but modified it. Some of the ATM cards found in our possession were all invalid and that was what we were using to steal from our victims.

“We don’t operate in one state. After stealing a card, we will check the balance and if the money is below N20,000, we don’t touch it. But if the amount in the account is huge, we withdraw money by phones, which we would resell at cheaper prices. “Sometimes, we take the ATMs to night clubs and hotels where we pay with cards. In our last operation, we bought three Samsung Galaxy Edge for N245,000 each and we sold them for N215,000.

“We also bought three Blackberry Passport for N130,000 each and sold them for N90,000. We also got two Infinix phones for N82,000 and it was sold for N60,000.

“I can’t recall the number of operations we have carried out, but we normally share all the money we have made equally.

“I have bought a Toyota Camry with my own share of our loot. I don’t know what my friends have done with their own share.”
