EFCC boss Ibrahim Magu has revealed in an interview with TVC that they have not been involved with the arrest of Hushpuppi. 

Hushpuppi was arrested by the Interpol and FBI in Dubai for alleged Fraud, he was arrested alongside his friend Mr. Woodberry, the two are known for living the lavish lifestyle. 

“We are yet to be involved in the case of Hushpuppi, but if they happen to give us this thing (details) we would assist.”

 When asked if the EFCC are only interested in arresting internet fraudsters, he said; 

“We are not all about arresting, prosecuting and chasing of internet fraudsters, and taking away the proceeds of their crime, but we are also trying to see wether we can rehabilitate them. Because most of this boys are either undergraduate or graduate from higher institutions, so they can be better people to our country.

The menace of Yahoo boys is also a course of concern, we are collaborating with other law enforcement agencies.

Yahoo boys have an association with their mothers who do not feel what their children are doing is a crime actually. It is called the “Yahoo Yahoo Mothers Association, a suitation where the mother would go abroad and the child would stay there and help them syphon funds from credit card fraud.

So we are doing everything possible to arrest the situation” he said.
