Well sir, among the caught-red-handed bunch was one musician Wole Afolabi, who is known in musical circles as Wole DSB. Wouldn't you know it for a man who creates melodies to find himself caught in the long arms of the law?
The raid—executed with the careful planning of a master carpenter—captured a total of 38 alleged cyber criminals. They were gathered up like autumn leaves in October.
Displayed before the cameras were the evidence of their supposed misdeeds: prohibited substances, tools of the digital trade, and other forbidden goods that would make a church deacon blush.
It strikes me that these digital con artists, as they're commonly called, have a particular attachment for the expensive trinkets in life—not unlike how a riverboat gambler might flaunt his prosperity.The EFCC chairman, in commenting on this notable catch, underlined that the operation forms part of their continuing campaign to purify Nigeria of the pestilence of cybercrime. It's a noble cause, though I imagine as many new tricksters spring up as catfish in a flooding river.
The unfortunate artist Wole DSB now faces grave accusations that could land him in a less melodious environment for quite some time.Imagine that in recent times he might have been crafting tunes, and now he's facing a hostile audience. Fate has a habit of changing direction faster than a whirlwind.
If this account serve as a warning to potential wrongdoers? Perhaps so, though people being people, some will always exist who think they're smarter than the law.Thus, as this drama continues in the halls of justice, we ordinary citizens can only observe and contemplate at the odd trajectories that bring a melodious spirit to exchange his studio for a jailhouse bunk.
