An angry mob set ablaze a woman in Bauchi State for refusing to submit herself for security check.
According to the Daily trust the woman was torched in Bauchi’s Muda Lawal Market and the incident was confirmed by Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Haruna Mohammed.
He said “information at our disposal revealed that a yet to be identified Lady, who allegedly refused to allow herself to be screened at the entrance of Muda Lawal Market Bauchi was attacked by irate mob who took law into their hands and set her ablaze. As a result, she died on the spot before rescue could come”.

Mohammed said Police patrol teams including Explosive ordinance disposal unit rushed to the scene, dispersed the rampaging crowd and restored normalcy in the Area.
He said the case is under investigation and intensive patrol is ongoing in the Area in order to apprehend the perpetrators and prevent further breakdown of law and order
Mohammed said the Command warned members of the public against taking laws into their hands as anyone arrested will face the full wrath of the Law.
Bauchi state much like other Northern states has been rocked by increased Boko Haram Insurgencies in the past few months which has made security checks mandatory in public markets as the insurgents have been targeting such places of late.
