Nabbed suicide bomber ‘burnt alive’ in Gombe
A suspected Boko Haram member who tried to detonate a bomb at the Gombe Line Park in Gombe, Gombe state, has been apprehended and burnt to death.
A witness told TheCable on phone that the man was apprehended some minutes before 1pm while preparing to blow up himself at the park, but a mob that quickly assembled refused suggestions that the bomber should be handed over to the police and instead “burnt him alive”.
“One guy entered with a bomb, and as he was trying to connect the bomb, people saw him and got hold of him,” he said.
“The police came to arrest him and they wanted to take him to the station, but the people insisted that they were going to kill him. So they gathered tyres and burnt him alive.”
He added that men of the anti-bomb squad of the Gombe state police command evacuated the bomb from the park.
A bomb blast at the same park on October 31 resulted in the death of “more than 30 people”.
Those guys are bunch of terrorists themselves!
Don’t ever pray to have a relative in a suicide bomber attack. Do you care to call Lagosians who burn thieves alive terrorist?
Despite the fact that they were very wrong but, at the same time I think they served him right since he had already made up his mind to die. This BH of a thing i think whatever kind of treatment they got they deserve it, I’m not encouraging jungle justice here but hehh hold on these guys are blood suckers. And the people are tired of handing them over to Nig. police without any good result from the investigations conducted on them for some times now. That shows that people are beginning to lose hope in the authorities concern and is very unfortunate. One more thing I think there is need for us to defend ourselves period!!!
