How ‘Yahoo Boy’ Tricked Me Into Nigeria – US Victim

Vonapolouis Moss, a US citizen, told the Kwara State Police Command how Joshua Awoyele, a 23-year-old suspected Internet fraudster known as “yahoo boy,” duped her into traveling to Nigeria.

Moss, of 2962 W 64th Court, Merrillville, Indiana 46410, USA, stated that the suspect enticed her into the country on January 9, 2023.

She went on to say that she met him on TikTok, a social media platform, and that he claimed to be an American named Howard Adams who was working in Nigeria.

According to the state police command, the suspected fraudster, Joshua Awoleye, a Higher National Diploma student at the Kwara State Polytechnic in Ilorin, allegedly lured the foreigner and swindled her out of $1000 when she arrived in Nigeria.

On Friday, the Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, paraded the suspect at the police headquarters in Ilorin, saying that Awoleye of Sabo-Oke Road, Ilorin, lodged Moss in a hotel and defrauded her.

According to the CP, “On January 12, 2023, at about 1200 hours, based on actionable intelligence, operatives of the SCID at the Kwara State Police Command arrested one Awoleye Joshua Oluwatofunmi, “male” of Sabo-Oke Road, Ilorin, within the premises of a hotel along Flower Garden Road, Ilorin, in company with one Vonapolouis Moss, an American citizen.

“A preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect, who is an Internet fraudster known as Yahoo Boy, presented himself to the victim on TikTok, a social media platform, as an American by the name of Howard Adams and ripped her off for about 1,000 USD.

“The suspect later took a step further by luring the victim to fly into Nigeria on January 9, 2023, through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, after which she flew into Ilorin the next day and was received by the suspect.

“The suspect also deceitfully took an unspecified amount of USD from the victim before she was rescued by police operatives.

“The necessary authorities have been contacted for appropriate action,” he said.

Odama went on to say that the victim had been moved into secure custody by the state police command pending her return to the United States.

Vonapoloius told reporters that she arrived in the country on Monday night and moved from Lagos to Ilorin on Tuesday morning.

“We met on social media and he invited me to visit Nigeria but when I came, he took me to the Bureau de Change to change my money to Nigerian currency and he also took me to Shoprite. When the money on me finished, he told me to tell my people to send more.”

However, the foreigner who said she liked Nigeria expressed a desire to return to the United States.

“I like Nigeria and I would like to come back but what I want now is to go back to America,” she said.

Although Joshua confessed, the Police Commissioner stated that he would not be handed over to the Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, but would instead be investigated by the police and charged in court after a thorough investigation of his alleged crime.
