Okada Riders Wreak Havoc, Set Houses On Fire Over Death Of 2 Colleagues In Abuja

Reports have it that over 100 commercial motorcyclists have unleash mayhem at Same Global Estate in the Lokogoma area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja following the death of their two colleagues.

According to Daily Post, the unrest ensued in the area on Sunday, May 29th when a motorist hit the Okada riders and ran into the estate for safety.

According to an eyewitness, the attack was aimed at apprehending the motorist who was trying to escape being lynched or brutally dealt with.

A police later disclosed that the FCT command has taken over the area to ensure peace and curtail unnecessary violent acts.

The command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, is yet to speak on the case as efforts to reach her were unsuccessful.

This incident comes close to what occurred in Lagos State a few weeks back where a group of Okada riders beat and burnt a man to death over N100 balance.
