An Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Abayomi Shogunle, has warned parents against allowing their daughters date internet fraudsters infamously called ‘Yahoo Boys’.
The senior policeman said girlfriends of internet fraudsters inadvertently get caught up in the violence and charms associated with their boyfriends’ “illicit venture”, hence the warning.
Shogunle, who is the Head of the Police Complaints Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU), made this known in a tweet on Friday morning.
He further urged the parents of daughters already married to yahoo boys to prevail on their sons-in-law to go into legitimate ventures to avoid hearing “bad news”.
Shogunle tweeted:
Warn your daughter/sister not to date a Yahoo/Gee boy.
She could be a victim of the violence associated with her BF’s illicit venture or ingredient of Yahoo+ (juju).
Parents of those already married to one, beg son-in-law to go legit if you don’t want to get a bad news.#YSguide
