Suspected Yahoo Boys ‘Kill’ Two Kids, Okada Rider In Ghastly Auto-Crash
LAGOS FEBRUARY 12TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Two children (boy and girl) of a serving soldier were on Monday knocked off from a motorbike to death by a vehicle allegedly driven by suspected internet fraudsters (Yahoo Boys).
The accident, which occurred in Auchi, Edo State, also claimed the life of the motorbike rider, who was conveying the children home from school, alongside their uncle.
According to a post on Auchi Blogspot, which was accompanied with pictures of the accident, the soldier identified as Jerry is one of the military men serving in Nicoho Barracks, Auchi.
The post read : “A visit to the residence of Anna & Jerry at the Nicoho Barracks evoked so much painful emotions as pain was palpable on the family owing to the tragic demise of their kids in yet a tragic event.
“On Monday the 7th of February is a day to never forget in the life of Anna,
Jerry and everyone who is affiliated to this young family.
I was at First Mobitech looking for good batteries for my Camera when I got an
urgent call to check out an accident involving a Lexus and some passengers on
an Okada between Leaders Academy and the 1st Checking Point from Waterboard to
Igbira Camp.
“I hurriedly made my transaction, took a bike and on getting there met the most heart rendering accident I’ve ever seen. It involved a Lexus reportedly driven by guys suspected to be Yahoo Boys who were recklessly driving in celebration of their graduation from school having completed their exams same day and an Okada Rider bearing 3passengers _a young man and two kids who were going to be reunited with their mother having closed from school at Father Grace Memorial School waterboard.
“The impact was terrible to the point that the Okada Rider and both kids gave up the ghosts on the spot. The young man broke a femur and the vehicle that crushed them crumbled and flipped into a drain with various damages but none on the boys in it.
“Jungle Justice was instantaneously dangling on their heads but thanks to men of the Nigerian Army, they were saved and quickly handed over to the Police while swirling tensions were being calmed by the soldiers via traffic control and other means of ensuring sanity during such circumstance.
“In all these, I did not know it was Anna’s kids that were the victims of this gruesome scene, I was unaware that the man whose femur had broken was Anna’s younger brother.
“Although the Okada Rider looked like a Northerner whose Hausa speaking colleagues had rented space everywhere, it was yet to be known to the Soldiers who prevented the driver and his cohort from meeting their Waterloo that the kids who were crushed were their colleague’s children who at the time was on official duty away from Auchi.
“As soon as I posted the update, I got a call from a senior colleague that
the Children were Anna’s _Anna!? I exclaimed half confused, half surprised with
a sprinkle of palpable pain on my being.
Truth be told, I’ve ironed the ‘asoebi’ of Anna and Jerry with which I attended
their Nuptial Union at Pastorial Center some 4years back.
I couldn’t help but scream ‘Inna lillahi wa Inna illayi raji uun!’
