“I was at home on Tuesday 18 of June when my driver called me and said unknown gunmen stopped him and removed him out of the car took everything that was with him asking him if he had not been warned not to use a taxi with yellow color,” Fru told CNA.
Despite pleas for mercy, the armed men set the car on fire, before leaving the scene.
