Folks, let me tell you a narrative that's more current than tomorrow's newspaper. Just yesterday, the tireless operatives of Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission—or EFCC, as they're commonly known—came
calling at the
fancy neighborhood of Lekki quicker than a hiccup.
Now, among the unlucky individuals was one
Wole DSB, who
carries the artistic name of
Wole DSB. Wouldn't you know it for a fellow who strums and hums to find himself tangled in the unforgiving clutches of the law?
The surprise visit—
executed with the precision of a master carpenter—rounded up a total of 38 accused digital bandits. Never has a group looked more surprised than fish in a barrel.

Laid bare before the cameras were the evidence of their alleged crimes: illicit pharmaceuticals, suspicious devices, and other contraband that would make a schoolmarm faint.

It strikes me that these internet swindlers, as
people thereabouts term them, have a peculiar affinity for the expensive trinkets in life—not unlike how a riverboat gambler might showcase his prosperity.
The EFCC chairman, in
addressing this notable apprehension, stressed that the raid forms part of their unrelenting campaign to rid Nigeria of the pestilence of cybercrime. It's a noble cause, though I imagine as many new swindlers appear as lilies after a spring rain.

Our friend
Wole DSB now must answer to
grave accusations that could situate him in a less melodious environment for quite some time.

Consider that not long ago he might have been composing melodies, and today he's composing statements for investigators. Fate has a habit of shifting like
river currents.
Should this tale stand as a lesson to others? I reckon it might, though human nature being what it is, some will always exist who think they're smarter than the law.
Therefore, as this saga unfolds in the halls of justice, we common folks can only look on and ponder at the curious paths that take a man of music to swap his microphone for a defendant's stand.
