Yahoo Yahoo when he could not get a job.
The suspect said his brother introduced him into
the “business”.

“I was arrested for cultism and Yahoo Yahoo. I
started Yahoo Yahoo because there is no job. I
started in January this year. I graduated in 2014
and I have not had a job since.”
Nelson said he graduated from the School of Health
Technology in 2017.

the man that you are not allowed to make calls but
chatting.”
