A man identified simply as Ability has died in a motorcycle accident just hours after narrowly escaping a kidnap attempt at his home in Delta State.

This was made known in a post shared by human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu via his Instagram page on Tuesday.

According to Gwamnishu, Ability had been targeted by armed kidnappers but was saved by his vigilant gateman. Less than 24 hours later, however, he was involved in a fatal motorcycle crash while heading to visit his wife.

In a video accompanying the post, Ability was seen lying lifeless in a casket. Gwamnishu wrote, “Mr Ability that escaped kidnapping yesterday died this evening by motorcycle accident.

“This morning, we were in his house, Ability gave me Four Cousin and appreciated me for the work I do. This evening, he told them to carry him by motorcycle to visit his wife and had an accident that took his life.

“Which kind of life is this? See strong Ability for inside casket. This is the worst news.

“A man that survived more than 17 bullets from Armed Kidnappers yesterday, slept, woke up and this evening he’s been lowered.”
