A woman identified as Kehinde Adewummi was on Monday night killed by a speeding car suspected to be driven by an internet fraudster, otherwise known as a Yahoo boy, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The Incident occurred opposite the Renewed MKO Abiola Sporting Arena in Kuto, Abeokuta, around 8 pm, with some parts of the victim?s body shattered on the road.

Eyewitness said that the yahoo boy sped off immediately after he hit the woman, who was said to be returning to her home at Laderin after the day?s job.

He said that the yahoo boy purposely knocked down the woman to renew his money ritual, especially during the period of the Ember months.

The witness said that the corpse of the woman was later packed inside a sack and evacuated from the road.

?A woman hawking goods for market women at Kuto was knocked down by a speeding Yahoo boy around eight in the night. The woman lives at Laderin and was going home before the Yahoo boy used his car to kill her. And I think those boys are finding every means to renew their money ritual,? he said.
