The founder of Salvation Ministry, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has rained curses on internet fraudsters, popularly called ‘Yahoo boys’, and culpable policemen allegedly taking “bribe” to stop their arrest.
Pastor Ibiyeomie, in a viral video watched by The Star, said the internet fraudsters would get into car accidents because their fraudulent activities have led to the death of many victims who were defrauded.
The popular cleric, who described internet fraud as stealing, cautioned ‘Yahoo boys’ in the country to stop the act of defrauding people of their retirement benefits.
Pastor Ibiyeomie, while preaching in his church, warned the congregants against any involvement in internet fraud.
He said: “Let me tell us these Yahoo boys, stop! I am a man of God. You kill people every day. When you Yahoo somebody, it is stealing.
“Don’t quote it anyhow. It is stealing. Most people, all their retirement benefits, you take it and people die. I curse you in the name of Jesus.
“It is a demonic, satanic way of getting money. Which kind of money is that? You are a thief. No matter how you colorize it, you are a thief. You love stealing! I curse the root of it. Do you know how many people you have killed? Scam kills people.

“Some people, the whole of their retirement benefits, you scam them and say you are buying car. What nonsense? You will get accident with that car!”
Pastor Ibiyeomie further frowned at the conferment of traditional title on ‘Yahoo boys’ in the country, describing internet fraudsters as “thieves”.
He added: “Stop giving yahoo boys chieftaincy title. Why would you give a yahoo boy a chieftaincy title? They are thieves; deal with them as armed robbers.
“Yahoo is stealing. Even today, church people are doing yahoo. Young boys will not work, they will not do anything. Internet fraud must stop in Nigeria.
“And to the police, all the Yahoo boys, jail them, arrest them. If you take bribe from Yahoo boys, that money kill you! That blood money that you take will kill you. You know why? They stole from somebody who died. You now collect money and release them. You and your family die with it. Police stop taking that kind of money. It is blood money,” the cleric warned.
