Twitter User's Terrifying Encounter: Escaping Implication by Yahoo Boys During Police Stop
A Nigerian lady with the handle @Atilolahafeezah on Twitter recently shared a harrowing experience during a trip from Ibadan to Ilorin. She found herself seated with two individuals, later revealed to be internet fraudsters, commonly known as “yahoo boys.”
In her Twitter narration, the lady recounted how the police stopped the vehicle she was traveling in, and one of the yahoo boys sitting next to her handed her his iPhone with an unusual request. He asked her to falsely claim ownership of his bag if questioned by the officers. Naturally, she was confused and frightened by the idea, worried that the bag might contain incriminating items.
Despite her concerns, the fraudster assured her that the police would not inspect the bag. Fearing trouble, she reluctantly agreed to the plan to avoid unnecessary attention.
When the police questioned both the lady and the other passenger about the bag, they denied any association with it. However, the security personnel persisted and decided to inspect the bag, suspecting that there might be illicit items hidden inside.
To everyone's astonishment, the officers discovered a collection of voodoo items inside the bag. This terrifying encounter left the lady shaken but relieved that she narrowly escaped being implicated in the yahoo boys‘ fraudulent activities.
Such incidents serve as a reminder of the need to stay vigilant and cautious, especially when unknowingly finding oneself in uncomfortable situations. It also highlights the importance of reporting suspicious activities to law enforcement to prevent criminal acts.
In her words;
I sat with 2 criminals (gbona gbona yahoo guys) from ibadan to ilorin. When the police stopped us, the one that sat beside me gave me his iPhone and said I should tell the police men his bag is mine I was like how nahh that what if they check the bag and they see something that can implicate me, he said they can't check it I was sha scared 😂.
Then they asked who the owner of the bag is I said not mine and the guy also denied I was like haa 😂 Alakoba re o. So, they opened the bag and they met calabash, soap, clothes and some books.
The other guy didn't carry any bag but the police was bent on him carrying something. So, one of them entered the car and searched where he seated, geh geh un 😂 the man brought out a small plastic inside nylon 😂😭 i was like hafeezahhh so you sat with criminals 😭. The guy sha rushed to the man and begged him not to cast him to his colleagues.
If you are not contented as a lady, you are in trouble and they will use you. I'm sure they will release them and collect money from them. Ki olori sho ara o🙏❤️”
