By Zuleihat Owuiye, Mamos Nigeria

A disturbing incident occurred in the Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of two suspected “one-chance” operators. According to eyewitnesses, the suspects were killed by a mob after they allegedly threw a victim out of a moving vehicle 

A commercial driver, Ahmed, recounted the events to our correspondent, stating that the mob pursued the vehicle and caught up with it after Dunamis church. Three people were inside the vehicle; one managed to escape, while the other two were beaten, with one later succumbing to his injuries.

The vehicle allegedly used in the crime was set ablaze by the mob. The FCT Police Command has been contacted for a response, but no official statement has been released yet 

This incident highlights the growing concern about “one-chance” operators in Abuja and the need for increased security measures to protect citizens.
