Uber driver st@bbed to d3ath in Abuja



Suspected hoodlums st@bbed a 38-year-old Uber driver, Mr. Vincent Bala, to d3ath during a late-night raid in Takushara Village in the Kabusa axis of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).  According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the assailants who stormed the community in the early hours of Sunday, September 14, 2025, mistook Bala for their target said to be the manager of a nearby bakery.  According to witnesses, the gang went from house to house, dispossessing residents of cash, phones and other valuables before attacking Bala.  He was not the person they were looking for, but they still attacked him. It was a senseless k!lling, a resident said. Bala, who allegedly resisted the hoodlums threats, was st3bbed multiple times.  Neighbours rushed him to Garki General Hospital, where doctors confirmed him d3ad on arrival.  His remains have since been deposited in the morgue. The killing has heightened tension in the community, where residents say they have suffered repeated attacks without adequate response from security agencies. We cant sleep with our eyes closed anymore. If the government doesnt act quickly, more innocent people will suffer, another villager lamented. Police authorities yesterday confirmed the incident, adding that investigations had commenced to track down the perpetrators.  Security operatives have also intensified patrols around the area.
