A suspected bandit has been lynched to death by an angry mob after he was apprehended by members of the Civilan JTF in Zamfara State.
According to reports, the incident occurred in Shinkafi local government area of the state, where about 40 persons were killed by armed bandits over the weekend.
The mob who apparently angered by the incessant killings in the state and the failure of the government to put a stop to the killings decided to take the law into their hands.
An eyewitness identified as Ubaidullah Kaura shared the story via his Twitter handle @UbaidullahKaura.
He wrote:
“Zamfara when people have no option but taking law into their hand.
“Suspected Bandit was catch in Shinkafi local government area of Zamfara State by civilian JTF know as (y’an sakai) and later execute without proper legal trial by an angry mob.
“Where’s the government? @MBuhari.”
