The Ogun police command have arrested a Yahoo Boy suspected to have used his girlfriend for money rituals in Abeokuta on Friday.
The lady was seen barking and walking about naked before the police moved in to restrain her in a cell until her parents came.
“The young lady in question was alleged to have been spiritually and diabolically used by a suspected yahoo boy, as a result of which she started barking like a dog,” said Abimbola Oyeyemi, police spokesman.
Oyeyemi said police had immediately contacted her parents, saying she was taken to the hospital with the help of the police.
“The alleged Yahoo boy was immediately arrested for interrogation,” adding that the case which attracted a large crowd to the station was later transferred to the State CIID on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole,’ he added.
However, Oyeyemi said the command was surprised and embarrassed to see the video of the victim circulating on social media.
“The height of the embarrassment was the fact that the said video was recorded while the victim, who was then naked and uncontrollable, was in a police cell.
“In view of this, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole has ordered a full-scale investigation to unravel the source of the video and how it became a subject of social media discussion.
“It is barbaric, uncivilized and despicable circulating such video on social media as such will in no small measure denigrate the human dignity of the victim which might be another source of psychological trauma for her.
“The Command has therefore vowed to deal with whoever found to be the source of the video and those behind its circulation on social media in the most decisive manner notwithstanding the status of the person,” Oyeyemi said.
