A robbery suspect was yesterday set ablaze by angry mob at Isoko quarters in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta. The deceased, aged 21, was alleged to have been a member of a five-man robbery gang terrorising the area.


The suspect, who was identified simply as Ese, was said to be a bus conductor. He was alleged to have snatched a commercial bus belonging to a police officer in Enerhen road in Warri.

The suspect, however, met his untimely death after he was sighted at a bus stop by angry mob. According to eye witness, the irate mob hit him with hard objects before setting him ablaze.
