Angry mob set ‘Mad man’ ablaze in Ibadan after recovering N7m Cheque from him [Video]

A supposed ‘mad man’ was reportedly burnt alive after an angry mob discovered N7 Million cheque from him.

The said mad was said to be a suspected kidnapper in disguise and has been set ablaze by an angry mob in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.

Nigerian Tribune reported that, after the vehicle zoomed off, the suspect was subsequently accosted by a mob as it was found that a cheque of N7 Million, iPhone and cutlass were recovered from him before the mob set him ablaze.

According to eyewitnesses, he was sighted receiving a package from yet to be identified persons in a private vehicle on the Molete overhead bridge on Tuesday, February 15.

An eyewitness, name withheld, said: “I was in my shop under the bridge this afternoon when we suddenly saw the mentally-deranged man jump down from the bridge after he had been set ablaze by the mob. I didn’t know what transpired between them on the bridge but I saw him when he jumped down with fire burning on his body.

The mob was seen pouring petrol on the victim while he was seen rolling in pain on the ground.

“I am not in support of jungle justice because we are not sure if anything suspicious was truly seen on him but the mob claimed a cheque of N7 million and iPhone was seen after searching his body.”
