No fewer than 40 suspected internet fraudsters attempted to breach security at Mab Global Estate in the Gwarinpa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja but were stopped.

The suspected fraudsters who are popularly known in local parlance as Yahoo boys were dressed in white and tried entering the estate around 11:45 pm on Friday, February 4, Vanguard reports.

This came less than 24 hours after two military personnel were arrested for harassing civilian security men in the estate.

Eyewitnesses disclosed that they were stopped by the combined team of security personnel at the gate after they failed to provide information on the particular house that was expecting them, The Sun reports.

The young men refused to be deterred as they returned in a convoy of 15 cars, carrying over 40 people in white around 2:30 am. They reportedly became aggressive as they tried to force their way into the estate.

The suspected fraudsters, who were said to be carrying leather bags, insisted that they came to honour a birthday party at a plot in which no celebration was happening.

A struggle ensued and the Chief Security Officer of the estate, Denis Omala, had to call for reinforcement to prevent the men from breaching the peace of the estate.
