A young photographer who was recently paraded by EFCC as an alleged 'Yahoo Boy' (internet fraudster) in Abuja has come out to issue a disclaimer.
Sharing his story after he was granted bail on Monday, he wrote,;
Saying I wasn't nvolved in any fraudulent activity even caused me more drills as I was slapped mercilessly with pepper spray in my eyes. We were taken to the EFCC office in Wuse 2, served jobs and immediately after rolling on the ground our pictures were taken even before stating anything.
We were taken to the AFF department were we gave our statements with all Social media and bank account details and later put in the EFCC cell from Friday 17/05/2019- Monday 20/05/2019. I and @beat_boi were released on bail on Monday after scrutinization of our accounts to find no history of fraud.
On coming out, I found my names and pictures were on @officialefcc instagram page alongside so many other blogs as "suspected Yahoo boys". I met @Czaboi as an artiste who has proper management thus I had no reason to doubt his business.
This is a disclaimer and to clear the air and my reputation that I have never shown interest nor gotten involved in any fraudulent activity, all I do is Photography and Music, Now I will say I was arrested for chasing my dreams. God bless Nigeria!
