Three vehicle park attendants in Abuja are set on fire by an enraged mob for allegedly causing the deaths of a couple and their son.

 

There was tension in the Mabushi area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Wednesday after three suspected touts, locally known as agbero, linked to the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), were set ablaze by an angry mob for allegedly causing the d3aths of a man, his wife, and their son.

According to an eyewitness, the tragic incident occurred when the touts allegedly dragged the car steering from the driver of the family’s car while attempting to extort money, leading to a fatal accident on the Mabushi Bridge. 

The entire family reportedly d!ed on the spot.

A video sighted online shows the three suspects lying on the ground before an unidentified individual doused them with petrol and set them on fire.

“This is what Amac agberos have caused here in Abuja. They are causing a lot of harm. It's high time we did something about it. Seriously. Both families died because of agbero. Imagine, they chased this man, entered his car, and dragged the steering from his hand. The man died, his wife died, and his son died. The FCT Minister needs to take action. Amac agberos must leave Abuja,” the witness said.

Messi's Bodyguard Banned From Touchline During Inter Miami Games

 Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been banned from protecting the Argentine forward in the touchline during Inter Miami matches. The former Navy SEAL gained widespread recognition after social media videos showed him closely watching the crowd to stop potential pitch invaders from harming the eight-times Ballon d’Or winner. Major League Soccer has now decided to take full control of matchday security and Cheuko will only be permitted in the locker room and mixed zones. “They don’t allow me to be on the field anymore,” the bodyguard told Spanish media. “I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. I came to the USA and in just 20 months 16 people have already done so. There’s a huge problem here, let me help Messi.”
