An angry mob reportedly set a suspected motorcycle thief ablaze between Kwaku and Gawu villages in Kuje Area Council of the FCT.
A resident of Kwaku, Samson Ishaya, who spoke to the Daily Trust on Thursday, August 29, said the incident happened around 3pm on Sunday, Kwaku market’s day.
According to him, the men allegedly stole a motorcycle at a drinking joint behind the market.
He said after a man at the joint raised the alarm, commercial motorcyclists gave the hoodlums a chase and arrested one of them while the other escaped after they crashed with the motorcycle.
“The one who was riding the motorcycle fell down after they crashed and a mob descended on him and killed him, while the other one escaped,” he said.
