The timely intervention of men of the Nigerian Police saved the lives of two young men suspected to be “Yahoo boys” from a mob
They were found parading on their heads, a coffin containing female undies at Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State.
The two boys were earlier nabbed by local vigilantes at Agidiehe Quarters of Ogwashi-Uku town at about 9.30p.m on Thursday.
At that time they were said to be conveying the coffin from their house to an unknown destination.
The boys were reportedly forced to open the coffin and female pants and brassieres were found inside. This drew the attention of more villagers to the increasing activities of Yahoo boys in the area.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Delta Police Command, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, confirmed the incident, saying the boys were arrested with the coffin for alleged ritual, adding that the command would carry out more investigation into the matter.
