The
Bauchi State Police Command has rescued a middle aged man found with a
human leg from being lynched by a mob in Gudun village, Bauchi Local
Government Area of Bauchi State.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, DSP Haruna Mohammed, who disclosed this yesterday in Bauchi,
said that Police initially arrested a man (names withheld) with a human
leg in Bauchi.
He added that after investigation, it
was discovered that the leg belonged to his father, which was amputated
in the hospital because of an illness.
Mohammed said: “The
hospital gave him the amputated leg to go and bury. As a stranger, he
pleaded with an Okada rider to take him to the outskirt of the town
where he will dispose of it.
“Unfortunately for him, the motorcycle
rider took him to Gudun village and alerted the public. The enraged mob
took laws in their hands and started beating him before he was rescued
by the police.”
He added that after he was rescued, the
Police took his statement and paid a visit to the hospital, where they
met his father whose leg was amputated.
He said: “The father of the man gave us the same story and we feel there is nothing incriminating against the suspect.
“We released him and he was admitted in the hospital because of the beating the villagers gave him.
