Angry mob burns suspected and ritualist alive

An angry mob in Ughelli, Delta State decided to take the law into their own hands when a suspected rapist and ritualist was burnt alive around the Ughelli market earlier today.

According to reports, scores of passers-by and even men of the Nigerian police looked on helplessly as the mob delivered jungle justice on the alleged rapist and ritualist.

The act by the mob was posted on social media by a Facebook user Ibebe Rufus Akpobome, who shared the pictures of the mob action, and the victim being burned.
