Pastor Azehme Azena, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) governorship candidate in Edo State, has vowed to halt police arrests of internet fraudsters, commonly known as “yahoo boys,” if elected.
While addressing a church congregation, Azena argued that despite numerous arrests, cybercrime continues to thrive, implying that a new approach is needed. However, his statement has sparked outrage and raised questions about his stance on crime and governance.
