Jenepher Ike, a final-year student at Delta State Polytechnic in Ogwashi-Uku, a 14-year-old SS1 student at Odiagbo Secondary School, and an unidentified female were reportedly murdered in an auto accident in the town by a suspected “yahoo boy.”
According to the report, these people died in the collision that occurred on Sunday, 10 December 2023, night along Ogwashi-Uku’s Polytechnic Road.
The final-year student and the 14-year-old child were killed instantly by the suspect’s vehicle, according to eyewitnesses, while the third female victim was taken to the hospital but passed away early hours of Monday, 11 December 2023.
The incident which involved the suspect’s vehicle, a Lexus 350 Salon, Ash colour, happened along the Polytechnic Road, very close to the school.
According to another eye witness, “The boy is among these yahoo boys in Ogwashi-Uku. People came to the scene and started beating him and even wanted to mob him before the intervention of some persons who handed him over to the police.”

“The deceased, Jenepher, a final year HND Mass Communication student of the polytechnic, just finished her exams and currently writing her project. The 14-year-old-boy was an SS1 student of Odiagbo Secondary School.”
“The other female victim whose mother is selling something along the Polytechnic Road was quickly rushed to the hospital but unfortunately, she died Monday morning.”
“It is unfortunate that this happened again this December. Every December, there must be an accident of this nature in this road especially involving these ‘yahoo boys’.”
An eyewitness said the suspect is currently detained at the Ogwashi-Uku police station.
When reached, Mr. Eshiet Udeme, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) at Delta State Command, stated he had not yet received the accident brief and that he would get back to our reporter, but at the time this report was filed, he was unable to do so.
However, DSP Bright Edafe, the State’s Police Public Relations Officer, verified the occurrence and said that one person had died.
He said, “One death confirmed, please.”
