Scene of the pandemonium
Commercial motorcycle operators in the Akoko area of Ondo State are living in fear due to the killing of their colleagues by robbers.
The fear was sparked by the recent deaths of two motorcycle riders in Arigidi and Akunu in the Akoko Northwest local government area.
The body of 28-year-old Dada Jatto, who had been missing for three days, was discovered mutilated near the Arigidi community along Okeagbe Road. Additionally, his motorcycle was missing.
Another okada rider was said to have been lured to a spot between Ikare and Arigidi where the robbers smashed his head and made away with his motorcycle.
Witnesses said the injured okada rider was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died.
It was gathered that the motorcycle was recovered at Akunu Akoko, a border town with Kogi state.
Ondo police spokesman, SP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said investigations have commenced into the incidents. (The Nation)
