Man turns Into ‘motorbike’ in Gboko


 THE unusual happened at Adeka in Gboko local government area of Benue State, weekend, when a commercial motorcycle operator, (names withheld), in a mysterious circumstance, turned into a brand new motorcycle.
Crime Alert gathered from an eyewitness that the Okada rider had picked a female passenger from the Yandev area of the town en-route Adeka. On getting to her destination, the female passenger dropped from the motorbike and after paying for the ride, the ‘Okada’ rider called her attention to a sum of money he claimed dropped from the hand bag of the passenger.

Our source stated that the female passenger maintained that she did not have such a huge sum in her possession hence the money couldn’t have dropped from her bag.   According the source, the commercial motorcycle operator insisted that the said money dropped from  the woman’s and insisted that the she picked up the money.

He said: “At this point a mild drama ensued between the two of them as the Okada rider insisted that the woman picked up the money but the woman refused vehemently. The Okada rider was almost forcing the woman to pick the money when the woman cried out for help from bystanders who intervened in the matter.”
Our source explained that passers-by intervened and after hearing their story, the female passenger was asked to take her leave while they impressed on the Okada rider to pick up the wrap of money. “He declined, but the mob that gathered at the scene threatened that if he failed to pick up the money, they would be left with no other option but to club him to death.
It was at that point that he agreed to pick up the large sum of money, and to the chagrin of everyone, the moment he touched the money, he turned into a brand new motorbike.”
Crime Alert gathered that some shocked members of the crowd took to their heels while others summoned the courage to report the matter at the Gboko Central Police station from where Police personnel stormed the scene and moved the new bike to the station for further investigation.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations officer, PPRO, Mr. Ejike Alaribe (ASP) said he was yet to be briefed on the bizarre story. Alaribe said: “I am not aware of the story; nothing like that has come to my knowledge.”
