A man identified as Atoyebi Taofiq Olajide, has shared a dating experience in 2021 which left a sour taste in his mouth.

He said it all started when he was introduced to a young beautiful lady whose physique he really like. He showed interest in knowing more about her.

During their date, they visited different beautiful places and he bought all kinds of food as they had fun like lovers.

Atoyebi revealed that in one of their conversations, the lady asked him about his opinion on yahoo boys (internet fraudsters) and in response, he said they are criminals.

After their date, the lady told him their relationship can never be as he cannot handle her bills as yahoo boys would.

The man thought the lady was only playing pranks until she blocked him. Months after, Atoyebi was informed that the lady was murdered by her boyfriend.

He shared; ”This beautiful lady. Tall, Lanky and caramel skinned was introduced to me mid last year by one of my friends. I loved what I saw and I wanted to know more about her.

We went on a date and it was so fun filled. We visited 3 different places that day. From Magic Land to Shoprite, we were doing like love birds. We ate different stuffs, things I have never tasted in my life.

During our conversation, she asked what’s my view on Yahoo guys, I told her they are criminals.

Later that night, she told me we can’t work because I can’t handle her bills. She said she only date yahoo boys. I thought she was joking until she blocked me.

The gist is, her friend told me she was killed last week by her boyfriend and her breast was removed.

I don’t even know how I am feeling right now.”

An EFCC statement on Facebook reads; “A four-bedroom uncompleted apartment located at Ikola Road, Alagbado, Lagos, which was developed with the proceeds of the fraud, was recovered from him”.
