According to an eyewitness, the man, whose name was not immediately disclosed to newsmen, was passing through one of the streets in the village, and then decided to urinate in a drainage, close to a mosque.
Tension mounted among youths in Jiwa and Gwagwa communities in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) over the killing of a middle-aged man on 27th of May in Jiwa for urinating near a mosque, located in the community.
However, just as he was doing that, a man who was sitting at the front of the mosque and watching him, picked a stone and threw at him.
Blueprint gathered that when the man had finished urinating, he picked the same stone and threw it back at the same man.
This action prompted some youths who were at the mosque to descend on him and gave him the beating of his life.
He was said to have fainted and was rushed to a private hospital in Gwagwa village, where he was pronounced dead by doctors in the hospital.

Our correspondent also gathered that it took the intervention of the divisional police officer (DPO), Gwagwa Police Station, and some other prominent persons in the two communities to stop the youth, who wanted to retaliate.
However, every effort to reach the FCT Police Public Relations officer (PPRO), Anjuguri Manza, for comments on the matter proved abortive.
