Abstract

The impact of the advent of technology cannot be overemphasized. The use of computers and the internet facilities have opened up so many opportunities and allowed for an all-round development in various countries. Despite the good tidings of the internet, it has also birthed the era of financial internet Fraud which is generally known as “Yahoo Yahoo” and has emerged into “Yahoo Plus” in Nigeria of which unsuspecting foreign victims lose millions of dollars to perpetrators of this crime which is now a nightmare across the globe. The resultant effect of this nefarious activity is that Non-Nigerians view Nigerians as fraudsters and the honour of Nigeria as a country is smeared. This paper therefore assessed the prevalence and prosecution of “Yahoo Plus” under the Criminal Justice Administration in Nigeria. The study adopts the doctrinal method to examine the legal framework and prosecution of “Yahoo Plus” while the analytical method is used to analysis the prevalence and societal acceptance of the crime in Nigerian. The study recommends that the Cyber Crimes Act 2015 should be strictly adhered to during trials of accused persons. Also, awareness should be created on the dangers of “Yahoo plus” so as to reduce its societal acceptance in Nigeria. The work concludes that in order to reduce or out rightly eradicate “Yahoo Plus” in Nigeria, the Nigerian government should step up efforts to increase youth employment and reduce the poverty level of an average Nigeria.
