Mob Set Alleged Baby Kidnapper On Fire

Jungle justice remains part of people's daily life in various communities in Nigeria. The latest case happened in Akure, Ondo State, when an unknown middle-aged man was burnt to death for allegedly kidnapping a baby. Sad!
The man, who reportedly pretended to be mad, was dragged to Oja Road, near the Skye Bank building, Adegbola Junction, by some youths from Ayedun quarters. The suspect was badly wounded with dangerous weapons and then set ablaze.

Three mobile policemen attempted to interfere and rescue the suspect, but the youths insisted on killing him. They declared he was “a confirmed kidnapper”. When a patrol van with reinforcements appeared in the area, the policemen could do nothing. The irate mob was unstoppable.
