Lecturer Burnt to Death for Killing Five Pupils

Alhaji Kassimu Umar, a Lecturer at  the Taraba College of Education, Zing, was on Friday burnt to death in a mob action after he allegedly hit and killed five primary school pupils with a vehicle he was driving.


Mr Joseph Kwaji, the Police Public Relations officer , of the Taraba Police Command confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria in Jalingo.

He said that the mob forcefully removed Umar from the  Pupule Police Outpost, where he went to report the incident, and the mob burnt him to death.

Kwaji said, “In the early hours of today, one Kassimu Umar, who is believed to be a lecturer with COE, Zing, had knocked down five primary school pupils who all died on the spot.

“After he reported the incident to the Pupule Police station, irate youths in their hundreds, stormed the station, dragged him out and lynched him.

“Our investigation revealed that the lecturer was trying to dodge a trailer, when he ran over the pupils whose ages ranged between eight and 11 years.”


Kwaji said that the matter was under investigation, adding that no arrest had so far been made.
