On Saturday 15th of October, a young man suspected of being a motorcycle thief was set ablaze by an angry mob in the Angwa Rukuba community, in the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The suspect was alleged to have stolen over 10 motorcycles.
“When the suspect was apprehended, the police came and took him to their station but the mob dragged him out and set him ablaze,” an eyewitness said.
Also, a clash between two rival cults left one person dead in the Gwarandok community, in the Jos South LGA of the state.
Meanwhile, gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted Umar Mohammed, a District Head of Langai in Pyem Chiefdom of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The traditional ruler was ambushed on Saturday evening at about 7:30 pm while returning from a nearby Mosque after prayers.
It was learned that the suspects trailed the paramount ruler after prayers until they got to a lonely place where they started shooting randomly to scare the villagers from coming to the scene to render help.
The state police spokesperson, Alabo Alfred, confirmed the three incidents.
