A popular cleric based in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, has cursed internet fraudsters otherwise called ‘Yahoo boys.’
Pastor David Ibiyeomie, who is Founder of Salvation Ministry, in a message preached in his church, also said policemen, who collect bribe and release arrested Yahoo boys would die alongside their family members.
The man of God said the scammers would involve in accident with a car because their nefarious activities have caused the death of some of their victims.
“Let me tell you, these Yahoo boys. Stop! I am a man of God. You kill people everyday. When you ‘Yahoo’ somebody, it is stealing. Don’t quote it anyhow. It is stealing. Most people, all their retirement benefits, you take it and people die. I curse you in the name of Jesus.

“It is a demonic, satanic way of getting money. Which kind of money is that? You are a thief. No matter how you colorise it, you are a thief. You love stealing! I curse the root of it. Do you know how many people you have killed?
“Scam kills people. Some people, the whole of their retirement benefit..You scam them and say you are buying a car. What nonsense? You will get accident with that car!
“And to the police, all the Yahoo boys, jail them, arrest them. If you take bribes from Yahoo boys, that money will kill you! That blood money that you take will kill you. You know why?
“They stole from somebody who died. You now collect money and release them. You and your family die with it. Police stop taking that kind of money.”
The ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ business, as Internet fraud is also called, has assumed disturbing dimensions of late where young men have resorted to abominable acts and even killing their relations for money rituals to be able to hit it big in the evil trade.
