Ibiyeomie Fires Back At Yahoo Boys, Rejects Their Offerings In Church

The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has warned internet fraudsters against bringing proceeds from their illicit activities into his church as offerings.

The clergyman issued the warning during a church service, where he condemned the continued presence of individuals involved in internet fraud within places of worship.

According to Ibiyeomie, some internet fraudsters attend church and remain comfortable with money allegedly obtained by deceiving or defrauding other people.

He questioned how individuals could engage in fraudulent activities against others and still participate in church activities without feeling remorse.

The pastor described internet fraud, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo, as theft, arguing that taking money that does not belong to someone amounts to stealing regardless of how the act is described.

Ibiyeomie specifically warned individuals involved in internet fraud who attend his church not to bring proceeds from such activities as offerings.

He stated that anyone engaging in Yahoo Yahoo should take their money elsewhere, stressing that the amount of money involved would not influence his position.

The Salvation Ministries founder also recounted the case of a professor at Rivers State University who, according to him, lost his savings after allegedly falling victim to internet fraud and later collapsed and died.

He further advised people who associate closely with internet fraudsters to distance themselves from such individuals, warning against supporting or encouraging fraudulent activities.

The pastor’s remarks have sparked discussions about the responsibility of religious institutions to reject proceeds suspected to have been obtained through criminal or unethical means.
