What could be tagged as jungle justice has happened along the Umuola Road, Obikabia axis of Ogbor Hill, Aba North Local Government Area of Abia State as a young man whose identity is yet to be ascertained was set ablaze by an angry mob for breaking into a popular church in the area to steal musical instruments.
It was also gathered that the young man was caught when he was about sneaking out with the items.
Truth Live News gathered that youths within the environs pounced on him and beat up mercilessly before setting him ablaze.
It was learnt that before the arrival of a police patrol team from a nearby checkpoint within Obikabia junction, the crowd had dispersed leaving the burning tires and the man’s body on the road.
However, Police authorities in the state were yet to comment on the incident, while some road users had begun calling on the Aba North and its Obingwa Council health offices to quickly remove the debris, which they said was not pleasant to the eyes.
