A young man in his early 30s, identified as Utibe Eteffia has taken his own life through lethal poison after falling victim to cyber criminals popular known as Yahoo Boys, who cleared out his account to the tune of N2.5 million.
Eteffia, said to be in his early 30s and the operator of a Point of Sale (PoS) business, allegedly ingested a poisonous substance after cybercriminals—commonly known as Yahoo Boys—defrauded him of N2.5 million. The incident occurred shortly after he hinted at suicidal thoughts through cryptic social media posts.
Prior to his death last Friday, it was gathered he had been posting his obituary on social media with the picture of a lit candle, as his audience and friends reacted to his frightening, “Do you believe in reincarnation?”
At one point, he was said to have posted some advisory messages, asking people to be their brothers’ keeper by showing love and help to those in need.
