The church, a white-garment religious centre, was replete with drumbeats.
AllNews cannot independently verify the currency the youths were splashing across the parish interior. We could not also authenticate when and where exactly the video was taken.
Internet scam is a fraudulent activity as spelt out by section 419 of Nigeria’s Criminal Code.
Yahoo boys in Nigeria continue to operate and improve their scams with tech tools: VPN applications to mask their location, photo manipulation software to create false appearances, taking advantage of bitcoin anonymity to receive fraudulent proceeds, and creating web pages for phishing, and more.
But there is a spiritual dimension to cybercrime in Nigeria. It is the ‘yahoo plus’.
A new phenomenon in cybercrime is mixing spiritual elements with internet surfing to boost cybercrime success rates.
The clampdown on Internet fraudsters by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in-group conflict among yahoo boys over social recognition, reduced victimisation and delayed success, and mass media enlightenment were reported factors influencing the fusion of spiritual elements in cyber crime.
The methods used include ase or mayehun (incontrovertible order), charmed or magical rings (oruka-ere) and incisions made around the wrist, which are used to surf the net, while ijapa (tortoise) is used to navigate profitable sites.
Unsuspecting victims fall under the spell of the ase via phone conversation where spiritual orders are made to the victims without their objecting.
