TRAGEDY IN ABUJA : FAMILY OF 4 KILLED IN CRASH,  ANGRY MOB SETS TOUTS ABLAZE AT MABUSHI BRIDGE

A private vehicle carrying a man, his wife, and their two children was involved in a deadly confrontation with suspected roadside touts (locally known as "Agberos") when the driver briefly stopped to pick up a relative. One of the touts allegedly forced his way into the moving vehicle and grabbed the steering wheel, causing the car to lose control and crash into a bridge pillar, resulting in the immediate deaths of all four occupants.

Outraged by the incident, residents swiftly took matters into their own hands. Three suspected touts were chased, beaten, and set ablaze by an angry mob before security operatives arrived. Police from the Mabushi Division managed to rescue two of the injured suspects, transporting them to the National Hospital.

As of now, the Nigerian Police Force has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. The identities of the deceased family members remain undisclosed, pending notification of next of kin.
