Acting chairman of the anti-graft agency, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has reacted to the arrest of Instagram celebrity, Ramon Igbalode a.k.a Hushpuppi.
In a recent interview on TVC, Magu simply revealed that EFCC is not involved in Hushpuppi’s arrest.
According to him, if the people involved can provide the needed details to prosecute the socialite, the agency is more than ready to assist with any investigation.
He added that EFCC is not all about arresting, prosecuting, and chasing of internet fraudsters, the agency also looks for ways to rehabilitate these criminals.
His words, “We are yet to be involved in the case of Hushpuppi, but if they happen to give us this thing (details) we would assist.”
“We are not all about arresting, prosecuting and chasing of internet fraudsters, and taking away the proceeds of their crime, but we are also trying to see wether we can rehabilitate them. Because most of this boys are either undergraduate or graduate from higher institutions, so they can be better people to our country.
The menace of Yahoo boys is also a course of concern, we are collaborating with other law enforcement agencies.
Yahoo boys have an association with their mothers who do not feel what their children are doing is a crime actually. It is called the “Yahoo Yahoo Mothers Association, a suitation where the mother would go abroad and the child would stay there and help them syphon funds from credit card fraud.
So we are doing everything possible to arrest the situation”
