A suspected member of a ‘One chance’ syndicate was reportedly lynched around the NYSC junction, along the Kubwa express way in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to eyewitnesses, who spoke to reporters at the scene of the incident, the suspect arrived the area around 2 a.m in a Gulf car, in company of two others from the Dutsen-Alhaji junction, on the same express way.
A member of the United Hunters Society of Nigeria in Kubwa, Muhammad Sani, while speaking to Abuja City Journal correspondent, said the two other members escaped from the scene immediately their vehicle hit a road barrier.
Also speaking, a security guard with one of the filling stations in the area, Sulaiman Yunusa, said a stolen motorcycle being driven by one of the robbers, was recovered at the scene, before the vehicle was set ablaze by the mob.
He said ‘One Chance’ activities are becoming rampant along the express way, with some of them stealing goods from trucks parked along the road during the night hours.
Our correspondent, who visited the scene, later in the morning, saw how scavengers were dismantling their abandoned vehicle after it was set on fire.
He was told that the remain of the suspected robber was taken to a nearby morgue by the policemen, after they were alerted on the incident.
The FCT Police Command is yet to issue a statement on this incident as at the time of filing in this report.
