| Rabiu and Pascal holding the skull |
The Increasing rate of 419 activities is pathetic,some say is poverty and lack of job,Two
suspected fraudsters who specialize in Advanced Fee Fraud (commonly known as
419 and YAHOO) have been arrested by the police in Lagos with a human skull and a large quantity
of US dollars. The suspects named Waliu Rabiu, a native of
Ikire in Osun State,
and Abba Pascal, a native of Ebonyi
State, were arrested last
weekend by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police
Command, led by Police Superintendent Abba Kyari, Daily Independent reports.
Rabiu and Pascal, who belong to a six-man gang, were arrested after one of
their victims, one Chidi Ebere, an electrical part dealer at Oshodi who was
duped of N1 million, reported them to the police.A human skull and a large sum
of US dollars were recovered at the gang’s hideout, after a search conducted on
the premises.Confessing to the crime, Rabiu, a former barber, who is married,
has a child and a pregnant wife, said it was hardship that pushed him into
crime, adding that when he was introduced to the gang, he was told that he’d be
selling Azonto herbal drinks.
“I was arrested because I was involved in 419(YAHOO)
business. It is the person who owns the herbal business that is the 419 leader.
The owner is dead but his brother Taofeek took over the business and 419. My
job is to wait for victims and usher them in from the gate. I was never
involved in negotiation so whatever the victims pay, I would not know, only
that when I am going for the day, I usually receive between N4,000 and N10,000
from the leader,” Rabiu said.He
denied knowing anything about the human skull, saying he has never seen it
since he joined the gang because their leaders had a lot of secret.He
explained: “It’s
not every part of the building we were allowed to enter and it was discovered
in the ceiling.”Pascal, who also denied having knowledge of the
human skull, said he gets between N5,000, N7,000, N3,000 and N10,000 at the
close of work.
