Security personnel at the Mab Global Estate in the Gwarinpa area of the Federal Capital Territory stopped about 40 suspected fetish internet fraudsters dressed in white from gaining access to the estate around 11:45 pm on Friday.
According to PUNCH, residents said the suspected fraudsters said they came to honour a birthday party at a plot in which no celebration was happening.
The young guys were said to be with bags and appeared like they were up for a ‘ritual’.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that just a day before four personnel of the Nigerian Air Force on Thursday allegedly beat up security men at the same estate (Mab Global Estate) for subjecting a tenant to a check.
The Chief Security Officer of the estate, Denis Omala, said they reinforced and came back around 2:30 am and he had to call for reinforcement to subdue them.
Omala said, “Over 40 suspected Yahoo boys attempted to breach the estate security on Friday night.
“They dressed in white attempted to gain entrance into the estate around 11:45 pm but were not allowed in.
“They could not provide the requisite information on the particular house number that was expected. We turned them back. They returned strong in a convoy of 15 cars carrying over 40 people in white around 2:30 am.
“They became aggressive as they attempted to forcibly penetrate the estate. We had to call in all the security men and some residents to prevent them from breaching the peace of the estate.”
The Chairman of the Estate, Emeka Ihedioha, said he had to rush to the gate to ensure that the young men were turned back, adding that their intentions were not known.
He, however, urged the residents to be more vigilant.
