Tension brewed on Tuesday morning at Moniya Axis of Ibadan as suspected internet fraudsters “Yahoo Boy” clashed with Police officers stationed along Kings College Moniya.
It was learnt that the Police Officers who were stationed along Moniya axis were on “search and stop” mission. In the course of their work, a car belonging to a suspected ‘Yahoo Boy’ was stopped which led to heated argument between them.
