Angry mob beats Ibori into a stupor in Warri for burgling a shop before handing him over to the police

AN irate mob beat up a 22-year suspected thief named Jeffry Ibori nearly killing him in Warri the commercial hub of Delta State after he burgled a shop along the Cinema Site link road in Okumagba Layout.

Apparently, the suspected thief was caught by one of the traders who had been monitoring him following missing items in his shop and that of his neighbours. After spotting Mr Ibori, the trader raised the alarm, which attracted his neighbours and other passers-bys.

Upon catching him, the angry mob beat the suspect to a stupor before dragging him to the Police Station B Division in Warri. Upon interrogation, the suspect stated that he has no means of livelihood and a residential apartment, adding that he was only trying to survive.

He stated that he usually sold the iron and other stolen items to an unknown person at the Jetty behind Igbudu Primary School in Warri. It is not clear yet when Mr Ibori will be charged to court.
