In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that a crossdresser was among 33 suspected internet fraudsters, also known as “Yahoo Boys” arrested by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The crossdresser, Owoseni Gabriel, posed as a woman to evade arrest.

They were nabbed by the anti-graft agency for their alleged involvement in computer-related fraud.
