A middle-aged man from Oyo town was lynched on Monday evening, burnt to death at the same Koso area of Iseyin by mob for allegedly being in possession of human parts.
The deceased, the Nigerian Tribune learnt, had asked a motorcycle operator to come inside his room to collect his fare when the said “okada” operator saw two amputated human arms in the room.
He was said to have raised the alarm which drew the attention of people outside.
On sighting the human arms, the people pounced on the man and set him ablaze.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Olabisi Okuwobi, said that the ritualist was burnt to death by the people for being in possession of human arms.
He said that the situation became rowdy and when the people saw policemen coming, they thought the police were coming to rescue him; hence they prevented them from getting to scene of the incident.
Okuwobi warned against people taken laws into their hands, saying that the police would not hesitate to charge people arrested for extra judicial killings in the state.
