The peace and celebration of the Christian Palm Sunday was shattered when a mob of okada riders pounced on the driver of a sienna mini bus and beat him to death.
Investigations conducted by Inside Sources revealed that the sienna bus driver had earlier knocked down an okada driver around the Royal Shekinah suites along Offa garage road.
