Two commercial motorcyclists and the passenger in an unregistered Toyota Camry car lost their lives in Osogbo on Monday when the driver of the car lost control and crushed the motorcyclists.

According to witness accounts, the accident happened at about 4:45 p.m. at Heritage Junction on the Gbongon-Osogbo road.

The accident was said to have been caused because of over-speeding by the driver, who lost control and rammed into a street light, causing the car to somersault.

When a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria visited the scene of the accident, a motorcycle could still be seen trapped under the car.

Policemen from Karu Abattoir outpost in Abuja on Tuesday rescued two men, accused of stealing motorcycles, from being set ablaze by an angry mob at the Old Karu Road.

A source at the police outpost, who pleaded for anonymity, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the policemen got a distress call that motorcycle thieves had been caught.“On our arrival at the place, we saw people putting together disused tyres and petrol to burn the alleged thieves.

“We had to fire several shots into the air to disperse the mob, after which we brought them to the office.“Before our arrival, the mob had vented their anger on the two young men, with their blood splattered all over them.“They would have been killed but for our intervention,” he said.
