Video Of ‘Yahoo Boy’ Disappearig In Police Custody Questioned
By Benjamin Abioye
A strange incident involving a suspected “Yahoo boy” allegedly vanishing while in police custody at a bank has caused a stir on social media. The event, captured on CCTV footage and shared on the X platform by user @TrendingEx, has led to heated debates over whether the video depicted reality or was tampered with.
In the video, a police officer armed with a gun was seen monitoring the suspect. The footage showed the suspect making a phone call before sitting near the bank’s security post. Later, he stood to make another call, and in an astonishing turn of events, he appeared to vanish into thin air. The officer rusheed to the spot, visibly alarmed, but the suspect was nowhere to be found.
The video’s authenticity has been questioned by many online. Some claim the footage was edited, citing discrepancies in the shadows and reflections on the wall as evidence. A user, @UTD_maxwell, remarked, “It is fake. Watch the reflection of the structure on the wall where he sat before the alleged disappearance.” Similarly, @VillagePeople suggested, “Check this wall when he disappeared; you’ll see the quick cut and join.”
Others have offered more supernatural explanations. Some speculated the suspect might have used voodoo to escape, possibly calling a “herbalist” for assistance. A commenter, @COMRADE L.S, said, “The herbalist way he called too sure.” Meanwhile, others dismissed the event outright as a poorly executed film trick or an attempt at attention-seeking. User @Harr¥ wrote, “Nice editing,” while @Oluwatosin commented, “What’s the title of the movie?”
Despite the conflicting interpretations, the incident has ignited a lively debate online. While skeptics insist it is an elaborate hoax, some remain intrigued by the possibility of supernatural involvement. The viral nature of the video demonstrates the internet’s fascination with unexplained events, even as arguments over its credibility continue to dominate the conversation.
As the discussions unfold, it remains uncertain whether this was a genuine occurrence, an expertly edited video, or merely a case of mass confusion fueled by social media. For now, the mystery persists, leaving viewers both puzzled and entertained.
