The management of Club 57 yesterday released an official statement claiming no arrest was made within the premises of the club.
The statement revealed that security operatives attached to members of the EFCC did a raised poles away from the club.
They admonished members of the public who patronize them not to stay away from the popular special Thursday’s ‘We own the night’.
Last week, members of the EFCC claimed to have raided a popular club in their hunt for advance fee fraudsters popularly known as ‘Yahoo yahoo boys’.
This has so far led to a debate on twitter with a cross section of Nigerian’s claiming that young men are only getting involved because of the lack of employment opportunities and hardship currently being experienced.
The backlash has so far hit the above opinion as citizens have also gone on twitter to decry the negative effect of advance fee fraud to the image of the country.
See what Afro rapper Olamide has to say:
“Yahoo boys are armed robbers. Armed with computers harming people and corporations.
“So please, file them next to Drug dealers, thieves, money launderers etc. They don’t deserve to be glorified, praised or emulated. We need this reality check.”
He added: “for those that are idolizing Yahoo people. That isn’t the Nigerian dream.
“That is pure FRAUD! Imagine you wake up in the morning & your life savings are gone only to be used to pop champagne and drive cars and nurture bad habits.
“Authorities must nip this trend in the bud, FAST!’.
