One suspected robber and killer met his untimely end today at the hands of angry youths in Ugep community, Cross River state, Nigeria.

According to reports, the slain suspect allegedly killed a motorcyclist otherwise known as Okada rider while trying to steal his bike.

While trying to steal the bike from its owner, the thief allegedly set the rider ablaze. He first threatened the young man to release the bike keys to him, but the owner refused and fought back.

The thief fought the young man harder and allegedly emptied the small gallon of fuel he was with on the guy and set him ablaze. He took off with the bike afterwards. The victim was found minutes after by sympathizers who took him to the hospital. The thief was later arrested by the police.

Unfortunately, the young man who the suspect set ablaze passed away Tuesday morning. So, angry youths went to the police station, brought out the thief and burnt him by the road side in front of the station as can be seen in a video posted online.
