Following reports that his friend slept off at a drinking bar in the Paso village of the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, a man stole his friend's motorcycle and fled with it.
The victim, known only as Zakka, went to a bar at nine o'clock according to Emmanuel Musa, a neighbour.
He claimed that the victim was having a drink when the suspect joined him and that after the victim had been dozing off for around twenty minutes, the suspect took the motorcycle's key from him and drove away.
He further said, “Some people who were drinking at the joint saw them together until after about 20 minutes when the man reportedly took away the motorcycle and left."
He added, ‘’I suspect the man who escaped with the motorcycle must have poured some substances inside the drink, which made the man sleep off.”
He also revealed that vigilantes had since been on the trail of the accused.
SP Adeh Josephine, the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, has not yet responded to the incident.
