The news of the alleged encounter of the man and the said missing boy was said to have gone wild, which triggered youths to descend on the man.

Another witness said, “I saw this man at the popular filling station at Okene roundabout on Friday afternoon. He looked rough and behaved like someone that has an impairment in the head.’’
