Another Tragedy struck on Sunday evening at Crown Luxury Marlago Estate along the Kubwa Expressway in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), when an alleged murder led to mob retaliation, resulting in the death of two individuals.
Zagazola gathered that the incident occurred at about 6:00 p.m., when a man identified simply as Aminu visited his friend, Bahago, at the estate.
The sources said the visit took a violent turn when Bahago allegedly attacked and killed Aminu with a cutlass. Bystanders reported seeing Bahago emerge from the residence with blood-stained clothes and a weapon in hand, allegedly threatening to kill anyone who came close.
His threats reportedly provoked a mob response from onlookers, who overpowered him and beat him into a coma.
Both Aminu and Bahago were rushed to Kubwa General Hospital, where doctors confirmed them dead on arrival. Their bodies have been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, though sources suggest it may have stemmed from a personal dispute.
Security personnel have since been deployed to the area to prevent a recurrence of violence, while investigations are ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident. (Zagazola, excluding headline)
