Angry mob burns alleged fowl thief to death in Cross River
An angry mob has burnt a middle-aged man identified as Victor to death in the early hours of Tuesday.
An eye witness who gave his name as George Asuquo said the victim was in the habit of stealing petty things in the area. “He never knew that word has gotten out about his illicit activities in the area. Although when he was caught last year by vigilante he was given the last warning which he obviously did not heed to.
“The people mobilised and laid siege for him, he was apprehended at about 4:00 am, the people refused to let him off the hook this time, hence they didn’t wait for too long before beating him up and setting him ablaze for the fowl he stole,” Asuquo said.
