Four suspected Yahoo Yahoo boys reportedly died yesterday after taking an overdose of strange illicit drugs in Yenagoa’s Biogbolo suburb, Bayelsa State’s capital.

The incident was said to have happened around 12 p.m. along Nasco Egei road, after the deceased boys had taken the pills in celebration of a mysterious financial breakthrough.

It was discovered that they died in the home rented by one of them, Favour.

One Melvin, who claimed to be a friend of one of the deceased boys, stated that the family was attempting to secure the release of the body of one of the victims, Favour, a 19-year-old indigene of the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.

“We believe that they were poisoned,” he said but could not explain who and how they were poisoned.

In his words: “We are here at Ekeki Police Station in company of Favour’s father to secure the release of his corpse for burial. But it is proving difficult after swearing to an affidavit. We gathered that they ate food that they ordered which was delivered by a logistics motorbike and they died. One of them who was in the toilet however survived because he did not eat from the meal.”

Another friend of the victims, who spoke anonymously said, “the deceased were awake when we forced the security man to open the gate to their residence. Nelson (one of the deceased) was sitting on the chair but his head was on the ground with his vomit. Richie (another deceased) has his computer tab on his hand and Yazz showed he was struggling. It clearly showed that they were poisoned.”

They also denied that their friends died as a result of inhaling generator fumes.

When contacted about the development, the State Commissioner of Police, Benjamin Okolo, confirmed the four youths’ deaths and blamed them on a drug overdose.

“They died of drug overdose. It is quiet unfortunate that they administered the drug themselves. They were five and the one that survived told us that the deceased took two pills each while he took one. This was why they died,” he said.

The Police Commissioner, on the other hand, assured that if the deceased’s friends and family insisted that the four boys were poisoned, the police would conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
