Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki says internet fraudsters brilliance can be redirected to better causes.

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki says internet fraudsters must be very brilliant to dupe people and their brilliance can be redirected to a better cause.

The governor said this on Friday at a town hall meeting on Edo State Education Policy.

According to the governor, instead of condemning cyber fraud, the root cause should be addressed just like in the case of human trafficking.

Governor Obaseki while seeking re-election two years ago disclosed plans to train repentant internet fraudsters otherwise called ‘yahoo boys’ on advanced Information and Communication Technology as well as other vocational skills in his proposed technology park in the state.
