A celebration over a newly-bought Lexus IS250 turned sour on Friday night when six suspected internet fraudsters, otherwise known as Yahoo boys, died after ramming the car into a stationary truck along the Agbarho-Ughelli section of the East-West Road near Ekiugbo Junction in Ughelli, North Local Government Area of Delta State, IgbereTV has learned.
The incident, although yet to be confirmed by the Delta State Police Command, occurred 8:00 p.m on Friday and left the car damaged beyond repairs.
An eyewitness who captured the incident on video, sent to IgbereTV, said the boys were on top speed when the accident happened.
The victims, who were allegedly under the influence of substances, reportedly died on the spot after their vehicle rammed into the stationary truck.
Sources who spoke to Tribune online said one of the friends of the victims had just bought the Lexus IS250 which necessitated the celebration.
