I loath Yahoo boys with ion. But how did they know the guys were Yahoo boys. From the information here, the ran away after killing those people. Did they carry megaphone and announced to the public that they are Yahoo boys before fleeing?

They could be bankers, engineers, plumbers, barbers, anything but you chose to call them Yahoo boys.

Most yahoo boys drive recklessly.

Hot money, hot speed, hot chase , hot jail…. Hot death

Are Port Harcourt residents this dumb!

How were these demons able to escape from the scene after this terrible act?

Every young man now in nigeria is a yahoo boy. How is that so?

The way these boys drives in high speed is something else, either it's drugs or not, they drive as if they have spare life somewhere.
