A group of more than thirty passengers who were travelling to Akwa Ibom for a wedding ceremony beat Mrs Christiana Erekere, a policewoman in Rivers state, to death. 

The terrible incident happened in front of the police station, where the victim died after being beaten to death by a large mob. 

The 80-year-old mother reportedly recorded the event, disturbing the travellers, who demanded that she hand them her phone. Mrs. Erekere, a widow, is survived by four children. 

When she refused, the young person threw stones at her and struck her with things until she passed out.

When the crowd began to charge at the on-duty police officers, other cops left the scene, leaving the deceased alone, defenceless, and defenceless.
