Nigerian rapper and media personality, N6 claims the International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL, has been extraditing top internet fraudsters to the United States of America.
The Hip Hop artiste made the claim through his verified Twitter account on Wednesday, saying the extradition which has been happening this December, is being done quietly.
According to N6, when the top fraudsters aka Yahoo boys are arrested, they are flown out and consequently sent to a prison in America.
The OAP wondered if the Nigerian government signed an extradition agreement to Interpol without the knowledge of its citizens.
He wrote; “Interpol has been Quietly picking several Top G-Boys in Naija this December and Extraditing them to US prisons. Did we sign a Recent Agreement that wasn’t Publicized? 🤔”
