Landlords who rent properties to yahoo boys will get 15 years imprisonment - EFCC warns

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has warned that landlords who rent houses to Internet fraudsters popularly known as 'Yahoo boys,' stand the risk of bagging 15-year jail term.

The antigraft agency mentioned this on its Instagram page.

''Okay now! What a juicy topic! E go sweet wella! Landlord way yahoo-boy dey stay for him house, my people, na 15 years imprisonment for the landlord o! E don set!''

The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, earlier met with hotel owners in Ilorin, the Kwara capital to sensitize the hospitality business community on how to work with the Commission to tame the tide of cyber crimes.

EFCC Zonal Commander, Michael Nzekwe expressed concern about what he described as the “cold complicity by hospitality entrepreneurs.”

Nzekwe accused some of the hotel owners of working with suspected fraudsters by housing them over a long period and making internet facilities available.

The official stated that the act negates Section 3 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offenses Act, 2006.

He said, “The section provides for a prison term of between five and 15 years without option of fine for any person who permits his premises to be used for any offense under the Act.”

Nzekwe stated that the law doesn’t recognise the position that hoteliers are business people and cannot determine who a fraudster

The EFCC had warned hoteliers to always ask their customers for means of identification and to include their occupation during the check-in procedure.
