He said some residents who were at the drinking place, who identified the victim, tried to convey him to his house due to his condition after excessive drinking but could not locate his motorcycle.

According to him, some relatives of the man who were later informed came and conveyed him home. He said the incident was reported to vigilantes in the area.
A vigilante, Gambo Saleh, who spoke with our reporter confirmed the incident, saying “This is what we keep telling people, especially those who go to drinking joints.”

The spokeswoman of the FCT police command, SP Adeh Josephine, could not be reached for comment on the incident.
