A furious mob on Wednesday set a woman on fire over claims that she attempted to abduct a child in Agbarho community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The victim, a seven year old boy, was rescued from the woman’s grip after he raised an alarm, insisting he had never seen her before.
According to reporters, the suspect was caught after the child shouted for help, drawing the attention of residents.
When questioned by the crowd, the woman failed to give any clear explanation on how she came into possession of the boy.
She was severely beaten by the mob before being set ablaze.
