A suspected phone thief was attacked by a group of youths in the Dorayi area of Kano State after he was accused of attempting to steal a woman’s mobile phone.
Eyewitnesses said the suspect allegedly tried to snatch the woman’s phone, triggering a confrontation that swiftly turned violent.
During the incident, the woman sustained injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Residents said the youths overpowered the suspect before security operatives arrived at the scene, and set him ablaze.
A tricycle rider, Abba Tilda, told DAILY POST that: “When I got to the scene, the woman was being put on a ride to get her to the hospital.
“They poured petrol on the suspect and lit the match. He was still moving when the security agents took him. The road has been completely blocked.”
He was later taken into custody for further investigation.
Recall that a woman, Fatima Abubakar, and her six children were murdered in the same Dorayi axis a few weeks ago.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kano State Police Command had not released an official statement on the incident.
