FOUR suspected ‘Yahoo boys’ have died of suspected drug overdose while celebrating a successful cash out along Nasco Egei Road of Biogbolo community in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The Bayelsa State Police Command said the incident, which saw five boys involved in drug-taking, occurred at about 12:00a.m on Friday, December 2.
Four of the suspected internet fraudsters died after injesting two pills each in celebration of a mysterious financial breakthrough.
Stonix News gathered that they died in the rented home of one of them identified as Favour, a 19-year-old indigene of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.
The Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Benjamin Okolo, confirmed the incident.
He said: “They died of a drug overdose. It is quite unfortunate that they administered the drug themselves.
“They were five and the one that survived told us that they took two pills each and that he took one. This was why they died.”
