Investigation Department (SCID) Yaba, DCP Yetunde Longe, has disclosed
that more internet fraudsters and possibly their mothers will be sent to
prison if found guilty after prosecution.
She disclosed this today on a morning show programme on Lagos Television
(LTV) while reacting to the news making rounds in the media that yet to
be identified women have formed an ‘Association of Yahoo Boys’ Mothers’.
According to DCP Longe, she disclosed that for now, the ‘Association of
Yahoo Boys’ Mothers’ is still an hear-say until police investigation
reveals that there is truth in it.
And if it turns out to be true and its proven that they are in any way
involved or provided any form of support to the crime, that makes them
accomplices and co-conspirators where which they will be made to face
the full wrath of the law. She added.
She however applauded the Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu
on his continuous and relentless effort in making sure cyber crime
becomes a thing of the past in Lagos.
While she also encouraged citizens to partner with police in order to
ensure a safer society for all, she released some complaint phone
numbers in case they notice any unusual activity around them
