BREAKING: Mob Beats Suspected Female Kidnapper To Death At Ipata Market In Ilorin
Eyewitnesses told Afrika Eyes that the woman was allegedly caught attempting to lure a child away when traders and passersby raised an alarm.
Ilorin, Kwara State– A suspected female kidnapper was on Thursday morning beaten to death by an angry mob at the popular Ipata Market in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Eyewitnesses told Afrika Eyes that the woman was allegedly caught attempting to lure a child away when traders and passersby raised an alarm.
The situation quickly escalated as the crowd descended on her, subjecting her to severe beating before she eventually died on the spot.
Items said to have been recovered from the suspect included four ATM cards and several documents, which fueled suspicions that she may have been part of a larger kidnapping syndicate.
Barely three months ago, a man was rescued by the Kwara State Police Command from a violent mob after being accused of attempting to kidnap a child within the metropolis.
The similarity between both cases has heightened anxiety among residents, who fear a growing trend of abduction attempts targeting vulnerable children.
