The Deputy Commissioner in-charge of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Yaba, DCP Yetunde Longe, has disclosed that more internet fraudsters and possibly their mothers will be sent to prison if found guilty after prosecution.
Longe made the disclosure on Wednesday while speaking on the Lagos Television, LTV morning programme.
She was reacting to the news making rounds in the media that yet to be identified women have formed an ‘Association of Yahoo Boys’ Mothers’.
According to the DCP, however, the ‘Association of Yahoo Boys’ Mothers’ is still a hear-say until police investigation reveals that there is truth in it.
“And if it turns out to be true and its proven that they are in any way involved or provided any form of support to the crime, that makes them accomplices and co-conspirators which means they will be made to face the full wrath of the law,” she added.
