Luck ran out of a suspected burglar at the wee hours of Saturday as he was douched with petrol and set ablaze by a mob in Warri, Delta State.
Sources said the suspect was caught in the act of breaking into houses on Saturday morning and was chased to a spot along the Cinema area in popular Okumagba Avenue, Warri South Local Government Area.
A crowd, in a video obtained by our reporter on Saturday morning, was seen around the spot where the burnt carcass of the deceased lay beside the Okumagba roundabout.
Policemen from the B Division who got a hint of the incident are said to be on their way to the area to halt any breakdown of law and order.
Acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, has yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing the report.
