A 25 year-old man identified as Mantau Rati Black was on Wednesday burnt alive by an angry mob at Ungwan Rukuba New Road in Jos, Plateau State for stabbing one Sati Samola to death.
News Agency of Nigeria gathered from an eye witness that the mob lynched Black in retaliation for the fatal stab he inflicted on Samola whom he attacked for intervening in a fight between him and his younger sister.
The eyewitness said that Samola gave up the ghost at Plateau Specialist Hospital where he was rushed to for treatment.
Incensed by the news of Samola's death, the mob wrestled Black from Police custody and set him ablaze after putting a disused tire around his neck.
According to the eyewitness, the mob waited until Black whom they said was a notorious scoundrel was confirmed dead before leaving to bury Samola.
Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Abu confirmed the incident.
His words;
“I went there yesterday, but could not see the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the area.
“We shall soon get more facts on the matter and get back to you. "
