A 27-year-old man suspected to be a Yahoo Plus Boy, Chinalu Ogbonna, is being held by the Abia State Police Command, allegedly for killing his father.
The Police reportedly apprehended the suspect in Umuahia, Abia State.
Chinalu, who is suspected to be involved in ‘Yahoo Plus’, was said to have strangled his 57-year-old father, Mmaduka Ogbonna, at their residence at Umueze Road, Umuahia, before removing his father’s left eye with the intention of using it for money ritual.
According to those in the know, Yahoo is the regular internet scam, but Yahoo Plus involves rituals and the use of human parts for metaphysical purposes.

“The suspect, Chinalu Ogbonna, a 27-year-old male residing with his father at Umueze Road, opposite Junior Girls Secondary School, Amuzukwu Ibeku, has been apprehended.
