A man simply identified as Afam has been shot dead by suspected armed robbers in Kubwa, a satellite town in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
A source privy to the incident told our reporter that the incident happened close to AJ lounge near the NNPC junction in Kubwa. The source said the victim sold electronics but work as an Uber driver at night.
“The guy went to AJ lounge. Beside AJ lounge, there is a place where they sell phones, he was inside his car.”
“So, he noticed that there was a group of men, up to five in number with guns and weapons, trying to break into the shop where they sell phones.
“I don’t really know what he was doing there, but he is into Uber. So, when he noticed the people were trying to burgle the shop, he tried to start his car to run away, then they noticed the movement.
“Possibly, they thought he was trying to video or call the police then they shot. Those clubbing in the AJ lounge heard the gunshot and came out. The criminals ran away afterward.
“Afam was rushed to the hospital but confirmed dead on arrival. I don’t know if the matter was reported to the police,” the source said.
The FCT police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, didn’t pick up calls as of the time this report was filed.
