In a tragic incident in Ogun State, a group of individuals suspected to be involved in internet fraud, commonly known as ‘Yahoo boys,’ caused a devastating accident that resulted in the death of a one-year-old child and left several others injured.

The accident occurred on Thursday when a grey Lexus ES350, with registration number APP429JN, veered off course and struck pedestrians.

The accident involved 27-year-old Ishola Qudus, who was driving the Lexus, accompanied by three passengers.

According to reports, the vehicle, which was reportedly occupied by individuals who had been drinking, lost control and overturned after hitting the pedestrians.

The primary victim, Ogunbunmi Rukayat, 24, was carrying her one-year-old daughter, Sekiniat, on her back when the vehicle collided with them.

Tragically, Sekiniat was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Abeokuta. Rukayat and another injured pedestrian, Adeola Olufolake Elizabeth, 60, are receiving critical medical attention.

The Ogun Police Command spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the accident, explaining that the vehicle overturned after hitting the victims.

She noted that Qudus, who is suspected of being an inexperienced driver, attributed the accident to a loss of control.

The driver and his three passengers—Azeez Adesanya, Olamide Oyedola, and Suliman Ogundele—sustained minor injuries and were treated for their wounds.

To ascertain whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, Qudus was taken to Aro Psychiatric Hospital for a toxicology test.
