Five suspected kidnappers were burnt to death by angry youths along the Afuze-Uokha road in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State at the weekend, Newspremises reports

Newspremises gathered that the suspected kidnappers, armed with assorted guns, attacked and abducted some travellers who they took into the bush.

However, the local vigilante group got wind of the kidnapping incident, mobilised and waylaid the suspects in the bush.

It was learnt that the locals, who had been angered by the spate of kidnapping in the area, forcefully snatched the suspects from the vigilantes as they were taking them to the police station, and set them ablaze.

"The kidnappers would have been contacting the families of the abducted travellers to ask for ransom if not for the bravery of the vigilantes while locals who were fed up with the criminal activities of these kidnappers set them on fire and left to die,” a source told Tribune.

Confirming the incident,spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, Kontongs Bello, said that investigation was ongoing.

"After the kidnap, the vigilantes went in search of the criminals who they apprehended in the bush. As they were coming out in Uokha Community on their way to the police station, angry youths in Uokha and adjoining towns took away the suspected kidnappers from the vigilantes. All efforts to get the suspects to the police proved abortive as they were burnt to death. The investigation is ongoing,” he added.

Impressive

Oga police spokesman, no need for investigation again. More kidnappers will die like this.
These bastards are the reason many Igbos in the south west are afraid of traveling home.
Along with armed robbers, they should be burned whenever they are caught

Ha! Jungle justice!!!! Why not hand over them to the police and follow the matter up? There are many activists that will be interested in the case

See young able bodied men just wasted like that. It's a pity.

Jungle justice is not the best... but I don't pity those criminals

Hmm! Sad yeast

Didn't he realize that he was about to die by burning

Say no to jungle justice but then, I can't imagine the trauma kidnapped people and their families go through.
They end wasting poor kidnapped people or sell off their parts.

good for them

I don't this people but I hate Jungle Justice...

O'npe

Good Riddance to evil souls

If they are guilty then so be it.

Copy And Paste News @lalasticlala

Only in Nigeria you will see an advert where a child is reciting ABCD very well and someone will ask the mom the secrete and the mom will say "Dano Milk".

I thought they said that all kidnappings are being carried out by the fulanis. This clearly shows that not all kidnapping cases are done by the Fulanis. Our people are also involved.

Doesn't sound to bad

lives wasted...for the locals to snatch DM from vigilante n set dm ablaze means the kidnappers have done alot harm to d society
some would come online to condem the actions but na who wear shoe naim know were it hurts..
my friend cousin was kidnapped....his dad paid 800k from d initial 5m, d kidnappers collected d moni, killed d gee n even his bro dt came to drop d cash dt its because they first involved d police
imagine d terrible loss from one family

Not Fulani herdsmen this time.

If they had gotten to the Police station, they will pay in cash and Police will eventually set them free.


It is better as they were sent to God for judgement since their captors couldn't judge them

From hell to hell!


Good riddance
