Mixed reactions have to continue to trail the proposed release of the suspected Nigerian Yahoo Boy that was arrested earlier this week as a result of a bail bond submitted by a Nigerian nurse based in America.
The nurse whose name is given as Nakpen Soyemi is a Benin lady who is married to a Yoruba guy, Idris Soyemi. According to the Court document for the bail bond, she is a registered nurse based in America. She met all the requirements set for the bail of Rufai Abidemi, the suspected Yahoo boy she is standing surety for.
However, there are some reservations about how she came about the huge amount of money. The bail bond is set at $300, 000, which is about 123 Million Naira. That amount of money is believed to be too much for a mere nurse to have. The FBI Prosecutor also thinks the same. They told the court to defer the suspect released on bail pending the time they will run background checks on Mrs. Nakpen Soyemi, to ascertain the true source of her money. Although some reports said she claimed her father left her the money. That is yet to be verified by the FBI.
Meanwhile, Alaba Rufai, the suspect' s blood brother who is also in America, had earlier backed out from the bail bond plan. He reportedly told their attorney that he will stand surety for his brother pending his trial. But when he was told that he will have to deposit $300, 000 (123 Million Naira), he humbly declines to be the surety. He said he does not have that amount of money.
Meanwhile, Ramon Reyes, the Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York in charge of the case, has ordered that the suspect should remain detained pending FBI investigation on the bail bond application.
