THE WHISTLER had reported how a tricycle operator was said to have mobilised the hoodlums to P-Layout, 2:1 New Site in Kubwa and attacked three security guards and five other residents over a disagreement.

The attack which took place on April 27 reportedly followed an altercation between one of the security guards and the tricycle (Keke NAPEP) operator.

A resident had told this website that the tricycle operator had hit and injured a motorcycle rider and attempted to run away but was prevented by the security guards.

Our correspondent gathered that John was left in a vegetative state after the assailants pounced on him and twisted his neck during the attack. He died on Thursday night at the Kubwa General Hospital.
