Please, who knows how this works? When EFCC operatives raid a nightclub based on intel that it harbors fraudsters, how do they tell Yahoo boys from innocent partiers there? It’s not fair to arrest anyone for merely being in a club, and then release them later. That’s harassment. https://t.co/dt7oN9aTa7

The EFCC will go down as the biggest Yahoo syndicate operating within a legal auspices in this country. Because all they do is track and arrest Yahoo boys, extort them of millions and release them back into the streets. They're not different from criminals.
