A young Naval Officer whose name was given as Commander Awi Samuel Ugbodi, has been lynched to death
by a mob made of commercial motorcyclists also known as 'Okada men', in
Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, who mistook him for a robber,
reports CKN News.
According to the online portal,
the young officer who hails from Benue State, was driving with his
younger brother in search of fuel when the incident happened.
One Pastor Flourish Atoju sent in this report to the site:
"He
is my brother, CKN. The whole of my village is thrown into mourning
right now. He was in the company of his younger brother to go get fuel.
He arrived at a police check point and the police on duty told him to
stop because of the robbery going on;
i
don't know why he just drove pass the police, the okada people ran after
him, seen that he stopped for them, the next thing was to drag him out
of his vehicle together with his younger brother, beat them up to the
point of death and set them ablaze.
It happened in Abuja on your way to Kaduna. His name is Awi Samuel Ugbodi. So painful and can't just stop crying.
