“The ones that have swag, the Yahoo Yahoo boys as my son would say; these in short, are the role models they are looking at. These are the ones that reinforce negative societal norms and values.” Diezani Nigeria YahooBoys InternetFraudsters

Former Nigerian minister of petroleum resources Diezani Alison-Madueke on Sunday lamented how values are fast eroding in Nigeria due to the activities of internet fraudsters aka “Yahoo Yahoo boys” in the country.

The former minister said at a virtual event organised by Ijaw National Development Group that things have degenerated to the extent that “Yahoo Yahoo boys” are respected in the society. Footages from the event were posted to Twitter by Jackson Ude, the publisher of Point Blank News. She highlighted the importance of mentorship for young people, saying only hard work could guarantee success.

However, a police spokesman in London told Reuters that he had no record of such an arrest. The National Crime Agency, in a short statement on its website, said its International Corruption Unit had arrested five people across London on suspicion of bribery and corruption offences that day without naming the suspects.The Westminster magistrate court subsequently granted her bail but seized her passport while she was asked to report at the station at a later date.
