A lady has taken to social media to mourn seven of her friends who were killed the same day by a drunk Yahoo boy.

The heartbroken lady, Temitope Hammed, while mourning the victims said the incident happened on Friday night at a mosque along the Moshood Abiola way in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

In her narrative, she said her friends were doing ablution when the car, a Toyota Avensis, crashed into them.

WuzupNaija gathered that the drunk driver was in the vehicle with three others, including a lady, when he lost control of the car and crashed into the victims.

The Head of Operations Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Abeokuta Division, Olaleye Babajide, confirmed the incident.

He said the accident occurred at about 10.30 pm on that day.

He said,

“The car swooped off the road, uprooted an electric pole and thereafter crushed the worshippers standing in front of the Rahamot Lahill Quareeb mosque located beside the road, killing them on the spot.

The impact of the crash forced the authorities of the State Traffic officials to axe the car into pieces before the four occupants of the car could be removed from the wreckage,” he said.

Mr Babajide said the occupants of the car, including the driver, were drunk.

“Overspeeding on the part of the driver was responsible for the crash. A number of alcoholic drinks, including tramadol, were seen in the car,” he added.

He also said two of the occupants of the car were arrested while attempting to run away from the scene of the accident.
