BREAKING: BIKE SNATCHER LYNCHED, BURNT IN MOB JUSTICE IN MAKURDI.

 

Benue State Network News. Crime Reporter.

 

Makurdi, the Benue State capital, witnessed a tragic and gruesome incident on the morning of Tuesday, September 2, 2025, as an alleged motorcycle thief was lynched and set ablaze by an angry mob. The incident occurred directly opposite the NNPC Mega Filling Station along Kashim Ibrahim Road.

 

According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect attempted to snatch a commercial motorcycle from its owner when the victim raised an alarm, drawing the attention of nearby residents. The crowd quickly mobilized, pursued the suspect, and apprehended him. In a disturbing act of jungle justice, the mob beat the suspect severely before setting him on fire.

 

As of the time of filing this report, security operatives had yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. The charred remains of the suspect were still at the scene as at 8:30am.
