Pastor David Ibiyeomie, founder of Salvation Ministries, has warned Christians against keeping company with internet fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo.
Speaking during a church sermon, Ibiyeomie condemned the practice, saying some Yahoo boys still operate within churches and show no remorse despite profiting from money taken from others.
“Do you know that there are Yahoo boys inside the church? They have no conscience. They Yahoo somebody and they are very happy in church,” Ibiyeomie said.
He stressed that internet fraud remains stealing, no matter how it is presented.
“No matter how you put it, Yahoo is stealing. I don’t care how you paint it. Whatever you take that belongs to somebody else, that is not your own, is stealing. Yahoo is stealing,” he declared.
The pastor also recalled the case of a university professor and electrical engineer who, he said, lost all his savings to fraudsters before collapsing and dying.
“Every money he saved as a professor, all his savings, was taken” he said.
Ibiyeomie urged people associating with fraudsters to cut ties with them.
“In case you are following such a person, separate from him now,” he warned, telling Yahoo boys in his church to “go to another church and give your offering.”
“Because you are killing people. People have died because of Yahoo,” he added.
