The activities of internet fraudsters, also known as Yohoo Yahoo Boys is alarming over the years. 

It'sno longer new to Nigerians that this Yahoo boys do rituals in order to stay afloat in their fraudulent activities.

In Delta State, it is gathered that some of them do kidnap girls, kills some and take their pants for rituals.

According to Tamera, a charming lady in her late 20s on Jakpa Road, she and her mother no longer hang their underwears on the rope outside in their compound where they live. “ “We live with five other tenants in our compound both girls and boys. From the day we heard the news, we have been hanging our pants in the bathroom, even if they get dry or not is no longer the problem. Sometimes we use hot iron on them to get them properly dry”. When she was asked if they handled their braziers in same way, her response was, “Yes o. No difference between pants and braziers. We hide them very well now. Ladies pants and bra na mega bucks in Warri”. 

Lola who is a female banker and lives in a one-bedroom flat around Estate area of Warri said, "I sit outside until my pants dry on the rope." According to her, she washes mostly on Saturdays and sit by the rope until her pants get dried. “I just bring out a chair, sit outside until my undies dry and I take them inside. No room for gambling. The story is everywhere that people have been recruited to go for ladies’ pants for attractive prices. Dem no go see my own o“, she said.

Even these our boyfriends, their eyes no dey clear. We are just gambling if it will lead to marriage. In the past when you visit your boy friend, if you were spending a night or two in his house, you took some underwears in your bag. But it is no longer so. You just go like that, not even with one. Just like that. You get what I mean. No be my head dem go take break coconut”, she said.

Esther, also in her late 20s, said We avoid lonely routes at night because we heard some girls had been asked on the street at gunpoint to pull their pants or be shot dead. “It is so bad.

Some people now go round in cars looking for girls on lonely roads to forcefully order them to pull their pants using gun. You will just see a vehicle stop in front of you and guys will jump out. All they do is order you to pull your pants”, she said “So, in my house, we the girls don’t go on errands at night. From 6pm you don’t see us on the street. We also try to avoid lonely roads during the day”.
