Nigerians React As EFCC Arrests 89 Yahoo Boys Inside Ibadan Night Club

Several reactions have trailed the  recent activities and invasion of a nightclub, Club 360, in Ibadan, Oyo state by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC)

Naija News recalls that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),  made an arrest of huge numbers of some yahoo-yahoo-boys in the capital city of Oyo State.

According to the report, the anti-graft agency belonging to the Ibadan zonal office of the command have arrested 89 suspected internet fraudsters at the popular Club 360 located on the Akala Expressway, Oluyole Extension, Ibadan.

This was confirmed in a statement released by EFCC, stating that they have made the arrest following intelligence that the club is notorious for harbouring yahoo-yahoo boys.

The report reads; “In preparation for the late-night operation, officers of the commission had carried out series of discreet surveillance on the nature of activities going on in the nightclub which, according to intelligence, was notorious for harbouring suspected internet fraudsters.”

“The raid also led to the confiscation of scores of vehicles, laptops, sophisticated phones and other items.”

The suspects are said to be undergoing further interrogation by the command.

However, Twitter users are not having any of it as they are currently berating the commission’s action, complaining that innocent club-goers might have been arrested along the real fraudsters.

"which according to intelligence"? Ironically, there is nothing intelligent about this show of shame. Who recruits these clowns for heaven's sake?

And you’re proud about this, is this the right way to go about this? So literally you mean to say, one can’t go clubbing with a car and a sophisticated phone. You feel all youth out there is the same as you think ? This totally wrong .@officialEFCC

89 of them were already being tracked by your diligent operatives. So you got to the club, arrested them and let other club goers off or you arrested every young man in the club with a "sophisticated" phone. You guys will turn yourselves into a joke.

Suspected fraudsters without names. You've been suspecting the activities at the club abi? What do you expect to happen there? Gospel concert or crusade? You're just hypocrites.

You go about harassing PEOPLE and labelling them as Yahoo boys without a single piece of evidence.

God will p*nish all of you. Your salaries will be used for hospital bills, emergency burials and court wahala.
