Car Accident: 6 Yahoo Boys Die While Celebrating New Lexus SUV

A celebration over a newly-bought Lexus GX 460 turned sour on Friday night.

This happened when six suspected internet fraudsters, otherwise known as Yahoo boys, died after ramming the car into a stationary truck.

The accident occurred along the Agbarho-Ughelli section of the East-West Road near Ekiugbo Junction in Ughelli, North Local Government Area of Delta State.

The incident occurred 8:00 p.m on Friday and left the car damaged beyond repairs.

The victims were allegedly under the influence of substances.

They were said to be celebrating one of their friends who had just bought an exotic car shortly after recording a breakthrough in the Yahoo business.

“The accident took place near Ekiugbo Junction at about 8pm on Friday. One of them bought a 2021 Lexus GX 460.

“The Lexus arrived Ughelli around 5pm while the accident happened around 8pm.

“They were returning from a joint where they had gone to celebrate the arrival of the vehicle.

“The new vehicle rammed into a pay-loader truck along the expressway.

“The six of them died on the spot,” an eye witness said.

The source added that the new vehicle was damaged beyond repair.

This was coming barely a week after a similar accident also claimed the lives of two suspected Yahoo Boys near Wetland Hotel in Ughelli.
