“The suspect, before being set ablaze, had admitted to have committed the crime and that he was on his way to deliver the two children to his agent,” an eyewitness told newsmen on the phone.

“The angered residents had to take laws into their hands following unabated disappearances of children from the area in recent times and without any arrest by the enforcement agents.

“The suspect took to his heel when the people discovered his mission and was apprehended along Government Girls Secondary School, GGSS, burial ground road and he was dragged on the road to the centre of Lapai town where he was eventually burnt to ashes,” the eyewitness further narrated.

He said before the Police in Lapai could get to the scene, the body of the suspect had burnt beyond recognition and the mob had disappeared from the scene.
