Alleged motorcycle thief mobbed to death in Abuja

An unidentified motorcycle robber was mobbed to death by alleged angry commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as Okada riders, in the Karshi area of the nation’s capital, Abuja, on Wednesday night.

The motorcycle robber allegedly snatched a motorcycle from an Okada rider but ran out of luck when other Okada riders mobilized, chased, and caught him, mobbing him to death in the process.

An eyewitness who spoke to newsmen under the condition of anonymity said, “The guy snatched the motorcycle from one Okada rider around the AA Rano filling station. Other Okada riders mobilized, ran after him, and set him ablaze.
