In Delta State’s Agbarho town, Ughelli North Local Government Area, a woman was set on fire by an enraged crowd on Wednesday for allegedly attempting to kidnap a child.

Additionally, the seven-year-old son was saved from the woman’s grasp.

ZINGTIE discovered that the deceased suspect was captured after the young child sounded the alarm, claiming he had never heard of the woman before.

The woman was unable to provide logical explanations for how she got the child when the mob questioned her.

She was beaten into unconsciousness by the mob and then burned.

“The lady and the tyre were set ablaze,” the source added.

The disappearances and thefts of youngsters in the Agbarho hamlet recently sparked a protest by the local populace.

“This lady was quite unlucky as the mob this time opted for instant justice, fearing that if she was handed over to the police, she might be released later.

“The angry mob probably chose to set her ablaze to send a clear message to those kidnapping children in the community to stay away from the town. With what has happened today, they will know it is no longer a police affair in the community,” a source in the community said.

As she was spotted pulling the child away from the mob, the mother of the child who was purportedly saved from the woman refused to reveal the child’s name.
