Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Captures Wole DSB, Musician, in Lekki Drug and Fraud Operation
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a tale that’s fresher than morning dew. In recent hours, the tireless agents of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission—or EFCC, as the common man says—descended upon the ritzy neighborhood of Lekki quicker than a hiccup.
Well sir, among the unlucky individuals was one Wole DSB Afolabi, who carries the artistic name of Wole DSB. Wouldn’t you know it for a purveyor of tunes to find himself mixed up in the unforgiving clutches of the law?
The raid—conducted with the of a Swiss watchmaker—rounded up a total of 38 suspected internet fraudsters. I’ve seen catfish caught in nets with more dignity.
Spread out before the world were the fruits of their alleged crimes: illicit pharmaceuticals, tools of the digital trade, and other forbidden goods that would make a church deacon blush.
It strikes me that these Yahoo boys, as people thereabouts term them, have a particular attachment for the expensive trinkets in life—not unlike how a frontier shopkeeper might display his good fortune.
The EFCC chairman, in addressing this notable haul, underlined that the raid forms part of their ongoing campaign to purify Nigeria of the pestilence of digital deception. That’s mighty righteous, though I reckon as many new fraudsters emerge as lilies after a spring rain.
Our friend Wole DSB now must answer to serious charges that could land him in a venue with poor acoustics for quite some time.
To think that in recent times he might have been crafting tunes, and today he’s singing a different tune. Fate has a habit of taking unexpected turns.
In the event this story act as a caution to would-be criminals? I reckon it might, though human nature being what it is, we’ll never lack for souls who believe they’re smarter than the law.
Thus, as this saga continues in the halls of justice, we regular people can only observe and contemplate at the odd trajectories that bring a melodious spirit to swap his studio for a defendant’s stand.
