Witnesses said the incident happened at about 4:00p.m. in the community on the Abuja-Lokoja expressway.
It was gathered the mob pursued the suspected thief from
Gwagwalada to Dabi after he allegedly snatched a motorcycle. The suspect
abandoned the machine and fled but that the mob caught him. He was
beaten to pulp before being burnt alive.
“Some of the people used dangerous objects to stab him all
over the body, while others hurled big stones at him, until he became
unconscious. They now brought a tyre and set him ablaze,” said an
eyewitness.
