Terfa Adim, a 22-year-old son of a retired Police Sergeant, from Mbaketsa Council Ward of Shangevya district, Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State, was at the weekend burnt to death by an angry mob over suspected armed robbery.

The victim, alongside two other members of the gang, reportedly robbed one Michael Hwande of Mbakertsa, of the same district, on August 18, 2013. According to witnesses, the gang fired several gun shots into the air to scare residents before breaking into the house of their victim.

“But as God would have it, the leader of the gang, Terfa, who mounted guard at the door with a gun while the others were carrying out the operation, was attacked by a courageous neighbour who disarmed him with a knife.

“Sensing danger the two others took to their heels and escaped before members of the vigilante group in the area would arrive the scene,” an eyewitness said.
The Police Command of Benue State has not released an official statement on the incident, however, according to sources, the police have visited the scene of the incident.
