GOOD MOVE? EFCC To Rehabilitate Convicted ‘Yahoo Boys’ – Chairman

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commissions, EFCC, chairman, Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that the commission is planning to rehabilitate convicted fraudsters known commonly as ‘Yahoo Boys’.

Olukoyede, on Friday, stated this when attending a delegation of the National Association of University Students, NAUS, led by its President, Obadi Marshal, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja, on March 21.

According to him, the reason behind the rehabilitation is to ensure the reorientation of the minds of the convicts and to channel their productive energies toward positive endeavours.

He said:

“We have a plan to rehabilitate convicted internet fraudsters with lesser sentences. The plan is to work with the correctional centre to make them useful and more productive in society.

“When you think deeply, that tag ‘ex-convict’ is not a good thing. You can never tell where you will find yourself tomorrow, and they will want to profile you and discover that you are an ex-convict.

“So, it is even in the interest of the youth that the EFCC is doing what it is doing to prevent them from indulging in the heinous act of cybercrime.

“The issue of dichotomies of associations is disturbing. Regulate yourselves and the society will take you more seriously.”
