Police rescue man from mob over sodomy

Policemen intervened to rescue 28-year-old Yusuf Yakubu from being lynched by a mob after he was ‘caught’ defiling a 13-year-old boy at Bayan Ganuwa Gombe road in Bauchi, our correspondent gathered on Saturday.

Witnesses and residents of Bayan Ganuwa told Daily Trust on Sunday that the man narrowly escaped death following the intervention of the police and some elders who stopped the mob from lynching him.

The police later arrested the man alongside “a gang of five rapists in Gamawa local government who defiled a 14-year-old girl on different occasions.”
