A young man suspected to have stolen a car battery was burnt alive Monday along Yellow Duke Street in Calabar.
A resident of the area who witnessed the incident said the ill-fated young man was suspected to have stolen a battery in one of the cars parked in the area and when an alarm was raised that he was a thief, a mob immediately gathered and beat him up thoroughly.
“They beat him up until he could no longer move. After that they got some tires and put around his neck. He was still alive and crying. Petrol was brought and poured on him and fire set on him. He was burnt to ashes on the spot,” the eye witness said.
