Cobbler Roasted Alive by Angry Mob For Stabbing A Customer To Death In Calabar

The ugly incident happened at Abangasang Street, off Etta
Agbo Road, the cobbler who was said to be from the
northern parts of the country, had gone to repair shoes for
the customer who was identified as Eteyen when an argument
ensued between them over money, escalating into a fight,
leading to the cobbler bringing out the dagger and stabbing
Eteyen.
He was given instant jungle justice as an angry
mob burnt him alive after he had stabbed his
customer to death with a poisoned dagger.

Before he could escape, a mob had gathered and after
beating him to a pulp, he was set on fire

An eyewitness narrated how the whole thing happened:
“Before we knew what was happening, the ‘Aboki’ had
removed his dagger, which I believe is poisonous and
stabbed Eteyen in the stomach. Eteyen fell down while the
Aboki packed his things and wanted to run.
As he wanted to run away, people in the compound raised
the alarm and youths in the area chased and caught him
and before he could say anything, they had found a tyre
and the boy was already on fire,” the witness said.
