Tragedy struck on Sunday night in the Achusa area of Makurdi, Benue State, as a suspected motorcycle snatcher was allegedly burnt to death by an irate mob.

As at the time of filing this report, the identity of the deceased had not been ascertained.


Police authorities in Benue State were yet to issue an official statement on the incident. However, security agencies have repeatedly warned against jungle justice, urging residents to hand over suspects to law enforcement for proper investigation and prosecution.


The latest incident has reignited concerns over rising cases of mob action in parts of the state.
