A young man, Oderinde Saheed, popularly known as Seedorf, was reportedly killed by an angry mob following a road accident in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident reportedly occurred on August 25, 2026, in the Ajia area of Ona-Ara Local Government Area.
According to accounts surrounding the incident, Saheed was driving through the area when his vehicle was involved in an accident that resulted in a pedestrian being hit.
Rather than allowing the appropriate authorities to take control of the situation, an angry crowd reportedly gathered at the scene. Witnesses and others present allegedly accused Saheed of being a “Yahoo Boy.”
The situation subsequently escalated, with the mob allegedly taking the law into its own hands and subjecting Saheed to a severe assault before setting him and his vehicle ablaze.
Saheed reportedly died at the scene as a result of the attack.
His younger brother, who was reportedly travelling in the vehicle with him at the time of the accident, was also allegedly attacked by the mob. He reportedly sustained critical injuries and remains hospitalised, where he is said to be fighting for his life.
The incident has renewed concerns about mob justice and the dangers of taking the law into one’s own hands.
