Faces of the Yahoo Boys Arrested in Lagos with Expensive Cars

This is what you get in a country where over 500,000 youths will apply for a job in Immigration Service that is looking for just 4,000 men. How does the government expect these youths to survive? Fraud of course!

An early morning raid on two houses in the Lekki area of Lagos on April 6, 2014, yielded the arrest of seven suspects, all undergraduates studying various courses in some of the nation’s tertiary institutions. They were all arrested in two houses at Lekki County Homes and Lekki Phase One in Lagos State following an intelligence report on their alleged involvement in sundry internet scams...

The undergraduates, who are within the age-range of 21 and 29 years, include:

Elete Fred Debi, a 500-level student of Physics/Production Technology of the University of Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
