Operatives of the Taraba State Police Command have arrested two suspects following a violent altercation that led to the death of a commercial tricycle union pass distributor at Angwan Kassa junction, a suburb of Jalingo, the state capital.

The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, triggered panic among residents and commuters in the area.

Vanguard gathered that the violent clash erupted when the deceased intercepted a commercial tricycle (Keke NAPEP) operator for operating without a mandatory daily union ticket.

The victim’s insistence that the operator purchase the pass escalated into a heated argument, during which the pass distributor was stabbed. He later succumbed to his injuries.
