Suspected hoodlums have reportedly stabbed a 48-year-old man, identified as Solomon Audi, to death and dumped his corpse inside a gully along Gaube village in Kuje Area Council of the FCT.
A resident of Kuje, Simon Philips, said the incident happened on Tuesday around 6:23 pm when the man, who was on motorcycle to Gaube village, was attacked by suspects.
He said the deceased went to purchase a brand-new motorcycle in Gwagwalada and was on his way back to his village when some hoodlums emerged from the bush and ambushed him.
He said, “The man was returning from Gwagwalada, around 6:34 pm, where he had gone to purchase a new motorcycle and was on his way back to Gaube, when the hoodlums ambushed him in a forest and stabbed him to death. Thereafter, they tied his hands and mouth and dumped his corpse inside a gully.’’

He said his family raised an alarm after the deceased did not return home and the vigilantes mobilized to trace him.
He said the vigilantes discovered his lifeless body, where it was dumped, adding that the corpse was evacuated to the village and buried.
A member of the vigilante, Dantani Ayuba, confirmed the incident, saying “I was part of the vigilantes that went to where the incident happened and we found the man’s corpse inside a gully just by the road side.
He said the vigilantes had already alerted their members in Abaji, Kwali, Gwagwalada and Zuba to keep eyes on anyone with new bike to sell in their areas.
