In a video that has gone viral on social media, a Muslim cleric has shared an unusual piece of advice for internet fraudsters, commonly known as “Yahoo boys.”
The cleric, known as Alfa, warned those engaged in cyber fraud not to send messages to foreign clients using Nigerian phone numbers.
According to Alfa, doing so would ruin the potency of a special soap given to these fraudsters.
The video, which has attracted significant attention online, features the cleric cautioning those already chatting with their victims without a foreign phone line to desist from doing so.
The reasoning behind his advice lies in the belief that the special soap, presumably a ritualistic object or talisman, loses its effectiveness when used alongside a Nigerian phone number.
While the cleric’s advice may seem peculiar to many, it has sparked reactions from netizens across various social media platforms.
