A suspected phone thief has been set ablaze by a mob in the Gudu area of Abuja. He was said to have taken to his heels, as residents ran after him. I learnt that he stole a phone from a vehicle in traffic. I learnt he took it (phone) through the glass of the car, which was wound down. Yusuf, who appealed to residents to stop taking the law into their own hands, said the police were investigating the matter.
