It was a sad Wednesday in Ogun state as a mechanic who police officers reportedly mistook to be a yahoo boy, got involved in an auto crash in Igbeba.
Policemen on patrol in their van saw him driving a customer’s car and believed he was a fraudster, so they engaged him in a hot pursuit.

A video which surfaced online shows the damage done to the cars and residents were raising insults on the police officers who eventually abandoned the van.
One of the security personnel could be seen fleeing the scen of the accident as people made attempts to see what could be salvaged from the car.
