Another jungle justice has met an unidentified shoe maker who was burnt to ashes at Abangasang Street, off Etta Agbo Road in Cross River State on Monday after stabbing his customer identified as Eteyen with a poisonous dagger.
It was learnt that an argument ensued between the cobbler and Eteyen over money which escalated into a fight. The shoe-maker consequently stabbed Eteyen during the fight. As the cobbler attempted to escape, he was caught by some angry mobs who set him ablaze after being battered.
Below is how an eye witness narrated the story online;
"Before we knew what was happening, the Aboki had removed his dagger, which I believe is poisonous and stabbed Eteyen in the stomach. Eteyen fell down while the Aboki packed his things and wanted to run.
As he wanted to run away, people in the compound raised the alarm and youths in the area chased and caught him and before you he could say anything, they had found a tyre and the boy was already on fire."
