Obaseki: “Yahoo Boys” must be incredible… We need to re-direct their thinking in positively

Edo’s governor, Godwin Obaseki, says his administration is prepared to combat the state’s growing Internet fraud problem.

The governor said the Internet fraudsters, also known as Yahoo Yahoo boys, must be very bright to carry out such illegal activities, speaking at a state education town hall meeting on Friday.

The government, according to Obaseki, must assist fraudsters in reorienting their thinking toward positive endeavors.

“I’m worried.” The issues of cyber fraud and Yahoo culture are significant. “I’m requesting that everyone send as much information as possible to my office,” Obaseki said.
“On Monday, I am going to see the chairman of EFCC. I am not condemning those involved. There must be a reason why that culture has become so prolific in Edo state. We must find the root cause and address them as we did in the days of trafficking.

“Let’s see how we can correct it because these children must be very brilliant. The kind of things they do, how they hack into other people’s accounts. How do we re-direct that thinking into something more positive?”
