The Chairman, Nasarawa State office of the Special Public Works, Dr Kassim Mohammad lamented that he was scammed by suspected internet fraudsters, known as Yahoo boys.
The man cried out on Thursday before newsmen.

“I sincerely denounce the transaction and call on the authority of the bank in Lafia branch to act immediately”.
