Angry mob has set ablaze a suspected thief for allegedly stealing building materials at a new construction site in Ekiugbo community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to a source, the suspect has been indulging in stealing and on that fateful day, he was caught by the community vigilantes before he was set ablaze by the mob.
