A young man who was portrayed as a suspected yahoo boy by EFCC has issued a disclaimer saying he is not a yahoo boy and never will he be one. Young Kozzo a photographer says he was called for a job in Abuja, which took three days, but the day they were supposed to round up, EFCC men stormed the studio they were and they were picked up. His constant claim of not being a yahoo boy allegedly made the officials slap him the more and used pepper spray on him. Young Kozzo who says this is what Nigeria gave him in return for genuine hustle wrote;

''As a means to get myself useful even in a country that neither has jobs to offer it's youth nor supports the few that follow their dream to build brand and provide services, I @Kozzographa was doing a video and picture profile for @CzaBoi and @i_am_black_montana scheduled for 3 days in Abuja from 15/05/2019-17/05/2019. on the 3rd day Friday 17/05/2019 at about 6am, Officers and staff of the @officialefcc invaded the house/Studio where we were working following a tip off by an anonymous and arrested the ten of us including @Beat_boi the music producer recording Czaboi's new mixtape Album.


Saying I wasn't involved in any fraudulent activity even caused me more drills as I was slapped mercilessly with pepper spray in my eyes. We were taken to the EFCC office in Wuse 2, served jobs and immediately after rolling on the ground our pictures were taken even before stating anything.

We were taken to the AFF department were we gave our statements with all Social media and bank account details and later put in the EFCC cell from Friday 17/05/2019- Monday 20/05/2019. I and @beat_boi were released on bail on Monday after scrutinization of our accounts to find no history of fraud.

On coming out, I found my names and pictures were on @officialefcc instagram page alongside so many other blogs as "suspected Yahoo boys". I met @Czaboi as an artiste who has proper management thus I had no reason to doubt his business.

This is a disclaimer and to clear the air and my reputation that I have never shown interest nor gotten involved in any fraudulent activity, all I do is Photography and Music, Now I will say I was arrested for chasing my dreams. God bless Nigeria!''
