Abuja, Nigeria – A viral video allegedly showing a suspected internet fraudster, commonly known as a “Yahoo Boy,” mysteriously disappearing from police custody at a bank premises has sparked widespread debate on social media.
The video, which was shared on the X platform by user @TrendingEx, shows a police officer monitoring a suspect inside what appears to be a first-generation bank. The footage depicts the suspect making a phone call, sitting near a security post, and then standing for another call before suddenly vanishing from the frame, leaving the visibly alarmed officer to search the empty spot.

The incident has generated two primary reactions online: skepticism and supernatural speculation.
Many users have questioned the video’s credibility, suggesting it is an elaborate hoax. Critics have pointed out inconsistencies in the footage, such as apparent discrepancies in wall reflections and shadows at the moment of the supposed disappearance, which they argue indicate a “quick cut and join” in the editing process.

Conversely, others have attributed the incident to supernatural powers, suggesting the suspect may have used voodoo or called a “herbalist” for spiritual assistance to escape. This reaction highlights a growing societal concern regarding the intersection of cybercrime and spirituality.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recently raised alarms about a disturbing trend where fraudsters are turning to spiritual and ritual practices, known as “Yahoo Plus,” to enhance their criminal activities and evade law enforcement. The agency has declared a “total war” on this practice, which reportedly involves rituals, human sacrifices, and the harvesting of body parts. The EFCC has warned perpetrators that “no spiritual backing or ritual practice” will protect them from prosecution.
