Delta State PPRO Bright Edafe
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested a 28-year-old suspected internet fraudster (Yahoo boy) for allegedly killing his friend after a disagreement over a $1,000 transaction.
Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bright Edafe, who confirmed this, said the incident took place at Agbarho community, Ughelli North Local Government Area on January 21, 2026.
He said the suspect, Mr. Oghenegare, who is currently in detention at the state command headquarters, Asaba, and the deceased, identified as Mr. Courage, were into the business of internet fraud and somehow, had a disagreement.
Edafe said the suspect confronted the deceased and hit him on the head in the ensuing fight.
He lamented the increasing rate of murder cases being recorded in the state due to hot temper, drug abuse and issues that could be resolved.
Meanwhile, the suspect, in a video, said the deceased who he admitted as being his childhood friend had “logged” him out of the process of the transaction. (Vanguard)
