Another eywitness said;

“The man told us they forcefully took his bike and snapped his neck with cutlass. The man said they already took the bike from me but they didn’t stop at that. They also wanted to take my phone which made me stand the ground and hold one of them right and call on people to come to my rescue,”

“We immediately arranged for him to be taken to the hospital while we screamed for help from people in the neighborhood. We chased them, they ran inside the bridge and we apprehended the two of them in the long run.”
