MOB JUSTICE,4 LYNCHED TO DEATH ON SUSPICION OF KIDNAPPING

Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba state.

The Taraba state Police Command has confirmed the killing of four suspected kidnappers by a mob at Tella in Gassol Local Government area of the state.

Spokesman of the command, David Misal, told newsmen that the fifth suspect, Salisu Zakari, who narrowly escaped the mob action, was arrested and detained in the command.

He said the mob had forcefully removed the suspects from a vigilante group at Tella and hacked them to death.

"They were arrested by a local vigilante group, but before being handed over to the police, a group of irate youths lynched them and threw their bodies into the river," the police spokesman said.

"One of the suspects escaped and was later arrested in Jalingo. He is presently in our custody."

Misal however said Zakari, in a confessional statement, claimed that the syndicate went to Tella for armed robbery not kidnapping, before they ran out of luck.

Misal said the matter is under investigation, adding that anyone involved in it would be prosecuted.
