Suspected Yahoo Boys Car Crash Kills One-Year-Old in Ogun
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.
The police have initiated an investigation into the incident, and further details will be released as the case progresses.
Meanwhile, the community mourns the loss of young Sekiniat and hopes for a swift recovery for the injured victims.
Federal Government releases further details for the burial of the Ex president, Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement briefly states that a committee will be set for the burial to be done properly and for the events to be held. The Federal Government then makes a list of the ministers needed to join this committee to hold a successful burial ceremony for Buhari.
It has been reported that two boys, aged 12 and 13, escaped from Boko Haram captivity after three years. The two boys arrived at the police station at 5:30 pm on July 12, 2025.
They described their story and how they escaped to the police, giving insight into what happened to them over the past few years.
A security analyst who was present at the narration gave a brief summary of what had occurred to the boys, sharing that they were kidnapped alongside their parents. However, their captors relaxed their guard earlier due to the boys’ stature and weakness.
The boys revealed how they trained other captives for combat, but they were both assigned to service the firearms. They also revealed their escape plan, which they had devised 10 months ago, and then took advantage of an opportunity to escape.
