Angry mob lynches okada rider mistaken for motorcycle thief in Benue
A commercial motorcyclist was reportedly lynched and set ablaze by an angry mob in Gboko town, located in the Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, after being mistakenly accused of stealing a Bajaj motorcycle.
According to eyewitnesses, the tragic event took place over the weekend near the War U Sarwuan area, close to Tofi Grammar School.
The victim, an Okada rider, was said to have been wrongly identified as a thief by residents who were chasing an actual motorcycle robber.
Witnesses explained that the motorcyclist lost control of his bike while making a sharp turn in an attempt to avoid the mob.
His passenger reportedly jumped off and escaped, leaving him behind with the motorcycle.
Despite his repeated pleas of innocence and attempts to show his identification, the crowd descended on him.
A witness claimed that one person hit the man with a stone before the mob set him on fire.
Moments after the gruesome act, the true owner of the motorcycle appeared at the scene and clarified that the slain rider was innocent, noting that the bike had been bought only two weeks earlier.
He described the victim as a devoted husband and father of three.
A local resident told our correspondent by phone that police officers later removed the body around 10 p.m.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Udeme Edet, stated that she would verify the report and provide feedback.
However, as of the time this report was filed, Edet has not responded.

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal
A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.
According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.
She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.
With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.
The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.
She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.
“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps
A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.
The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.
Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.
Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.
In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).
The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.
One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”
Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
