Lagos Uber Driver Killed After Being Strangled By Passengers by Nobody: 3:13pm On Apr 12, 2017
A Lagos Uber driver identified as Ehobosa Alex, was killed over the weekend after been strangled to death in his KIA RIO salon car by two lagos men, Osaro Egbomrewe and Michael Eyeoekpe.

When asked to give a detailed account of what happened over the weekend, Osaro Egbomrewe, told press,

“I and Michael met at Ogba where I went to drink and we became friends. I told him how difficult things were for me that I needed to relocate to Benin to start all over again. It was at this point that Michael told me about a deal that could fetch me some money that we could get a car and then sell it to his boss. Michael then told me about one Alex (Emmanuel) who had a vehicle and we agreed to meet the following day. Since then we had been meeting and discussing how to buy the vehicle. “On the fateful day the Uber driver came, I was with Michael in his office and his friend Destiny was with him but I don’t know if he discussed the vehicle deal with Destiny.
Around 9:30p.m, we called the Uber driver to come and pick us at Tantalizer eatery at Ogba. I and Destiny were inside the vehicle with the driver, but Michael was outside while I was holding the belt. “Immediately I put the belt across the driver’s neck, Destiny dragged the belt and we strangled him. When we were satisfied that he was dead, we took his corpse to Oremeji Street and dumped him in front of a church around 10:30 p.m., without anybody noticing us. After killing the driver, we took the vehicle to Michael’s boss to sell it. The buyer then inquired from us where we got the vehicle from and Michael told him that we killed the owner. The buyer then said we should take the car away and Michael said we should take it to his house and park it outside, before taking it to another buyer in Benin. Later we were tracked to Benin, arrested and brought back to Lagos.”
While the Lagos State police commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, added,

“The suspects posed as passengers strangled the Uber driver and dumped his remains at Ogba and the vehicle was taken to Delta State, where it was recovered and the suspects arrested.”

The third suspect, Innevosa Emmanuel, is said to be at large.

It's unfortunate embarassed the poor man was just trying to earn and honest living till this happened. There needs to be more security measures put in place so things like this won't happen again.
