Two young men were on Thursday
stoned to death in Aliede area of Benue State for allegedly stealing a motorcycle.
One of the victims was identified
as Labister, a native of Tiv, while his second whose identity could not be
ascertained at the moment hailed from Idoma speaking part of the state.
A source said that the suspects
were caught with a stolen motorcycle Thursday afternoon and were killed by
angry community youths.
An eyewitness told this reporter
that efforts by the community elders to rescue the young men and hand them over
to the police were futile as the mob insisted on killing them so it could serve
as a deterrent to others.
Several efforts to reach the
Benue Police PRO failed as his phones rang endlessly and went unanswered.
