‘Naira Marley’s Songs and Lifestyle Influenced Me’ -16-Year-Old Yahoo Boy
Gombe State Police Command on Tuesday arrested some suspected Yahoo boys (Cyber fraudster). One of them is 16-year-old Gabriel Michael who claimed he was influenced by the lifestyle an songs of a Nigerian musician, Naira Marley.
“I learnt hacking through tutorials on YouTube; for so many months I was at it. The lifestyle of a Nigerian musician, Naira Marley, the way he spends money influenced me. Marley talks about being a Yahoo boy. My addiction to computer started at the age of seven,” Michael said.
“I’m 16 years old, from Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State. I finished from the Nationwide Academy in Gombe. I was arrested for hacking into someone’s account.”
“I generate software like IP protocol, Angry IP scans, linos and I use them to do the job.”
Michael, however, begged for mercy. He said; “I regret my actions. I pray to be pardoned, so that I can use my talent in other to work for them (law enforcement agency). I can channel my ideas to legal ventures but the challenge has always been that nobody encourages one to use his talent to do good things. For instance, friends will push you to do so because you are making money. My ambition is to work hard to become a member of the Department of Security Services.”
