In an exclusive interview with the Punch, Mr. Iyiola Abejinmi, Vice Principal of Ibadan Grammar School narrated how a suspected internet fraudster crushed his sister to death with a car after she called him out for bashing her car.
Mr. Abejinmi disclosed that his late sister, Abimbola Uthman worked as a teacher at Islamic High School, Basorun before her death. He added that she was killed in the presence of her seven year old daughter.
According to the narration of the deceased’s daughter who witnessed the incident, her mother had the fatal encounter with the ‘yahoo boy’ when she went to meet her eldest daughter, who was returning to Ibadan from Ekiti State at the gate of the University of Ibadan.
While trying to park her car in front of a Bank, a Sienna mini bus hit her from behind. Abejinmi said his sister came down to check the damage on the vehicle and also speak with the person driving the Sienna car.
However, instead of coming down to apologize or show some sympathy, the driver of the vehicle allegedly threatened to crush her with his vehicle if she didn’t leave the road. ‘Before she could move, the boy crushed her and she was rushed to hospital to save her life but she died few hours.’ –narrated Abejinmi.
He added that the incident has been reported to the police but the suspect has yet to be arrested. He said the seven year old daughter who witnessed the incident only gave the description of the boy –whom according to her was wearing dreadlocks – but she didn’t capture his number plate.
“She was buried last Wednesday. Everybody is traumatized by the incident. That she died is painful but the manner of her death makes it more painful. I think the police will do well by arresting her killer. She was run over with a car deliberately and the best thing they can do is to bring the boy to justice’ –Abejinmi said.
