The PRO explained that “eyewitnesses that raised a loud shout became curious to find a “keke” plying a route not meant for tricycles. Before the eyewitnesses could properly investigate their suspicion, a lifeless body was discovered. The culprits defeating the villagers were a step ahead and disappeared without trace despite the efforts of the concerned citizens to catch up with the culprits.’’
