Man, wife, son killed by mob for ‘being bandit informants’

Three hoodlums suspected to be bandit informants have been burnt alive by angry mob at Zangon Aya village in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Their action followed a report by security agencies that a man, his wife and son were lynched through a mob action in the community on Monday.

Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufai has directed security agencies to investigate the lynching of the three suspected bandit informants.

The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Kaduna.

He said, “The mob action was in response to the suspects’ alleged collaboration with bandits, especially in relation to recent kidnappings in the area.

“After the killings, the mob also looted and burnt their home.”

The Commissioner said that the governor was sad and deeply worried over the violent action and strongly condemned the extrajudicial killings.

Aruwan stressed that legitimate procedures should always be adopted in confronting suspicions of criminality, as the destructive practice of self-help would only result in greater harm.

The governor urged citizens to maintain law and order and always report suspects to constituted authorities.
