Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that the extravagant lifestyles of internet fraudsters are the main reason the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is cracking down on them.
He explained that the internet fraudsters
abandoned their parents in poverty to live luxurious lifestyles with fraud
proceeds, which attracted the attention of the anti-graft agency.
Speaking in a video message shared via his
Instagram account, Portable said, “Why won’t EFCC arrest the youths when they
are doing Yahoo, using iPhone 15 and lodging in hotels, but their mothers are
selling akara [bean cake] and their fathers are suffering.”
He, however, urged the anti-graft agency to properly
investigate before making arrests, stressing that not everyone living a
luxurious lifestyle is into internet fraud.
