This was in response to the stabbing to death of a young man, Douglas by the same tricycle operator, who was also known as a Keke rider. The victim was reportedly killed after an argument over N50 change, and he died immediately.
The Keke rider’s actions angered some residents in the area who lynched him to death with stones. The identities of keke driver and his accomplice are unknown at the time of reporting as eye witness told PulseNets that another Hausa man was also killed in the process for aiding the keke driver.
