Six persons suspected to be internet fraudsters, popularly called ‘Yahoo boys,’ have reportedly died in a motor accident in Delta State.
Trendynews gathered that the incident happened Tuesday when a truck collided with a Mercedes Benz car near Akala park along Ogwashi Uku-Kwale expressway in the state.
Witness told our correspondent that the incident, which involved some women who were going to the market, occurred around 4 am.
“It was young boys and young girls that were in the new Mercedes Benz car, they were between 25 and 20 years old. We suspected them to be those yahoo boys.
“The victims have been deposited at the General Hospital in Ogwashi Uku, headquarters of Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state,” the witness said.
When contacted, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Ibrahim Abubakar, confirmed the incident.
He said, “The victims were three adult males and three females. the two vehicles were scattered in pieces and it was difficult identifying the victims as a result of the impact of the collision.
“We couldn’t find the registration numbers of the two vehicles, either people took them away or because of the impact of the clash; we couldn’t just locate them.
“Two of the victims were trapped under the truck and it took our men hectic time to push out the truck before we could bring them out dead.”
Abubakar advised motorists to avoid driving at night especially when they have issues with their sight and avoid high speed.
