A suspected ritualist was set ablaze by an angry mob on Wednesday at Ughelli Main Market, in Ughelli, Delta State of Nigeria after being caught while he was trying to mutilate the body of a young woman.

The attack took place at Adagaraba street around the Ughelli Main Market, in Ughelli, Delta State.

The alleged ritualist, who posed as a customer trying to buy several items from the shop, attempted to lure the victim into the inner room of the shop, by asking for prizes of various items inside the shop.

Thereafter, he tried to strangle her but she raised an alarm to the hearing of neighbours around.

In a bid to top the victim from shouting, the attacker hit the lady with a hammer on the forehead and tried to pluck out her eyes. But, he ran out of luck as the cry of his victim attracted neighbours and passers-by who went after the suspect in a hot pursuit.

He was later caught and burnt to death by the angry mob at the median of Ughelli Market road, in Delta State.

An eye witness who spoke with our correspondent, Itohan Ekpemiata said the young lady had opened her shop for business on Wednesday morning when an unknown man attacked her and was attempting to pluck out her eyes before he was caught and set ablaze.

Several people who spoke at the scene said the burnt suspect confessed he was not alone in the plot.

Our correspondents visited the attacked young woman at the hospital where she is currently receiving treatment.

And if he had succeeded killing the lady, what would that be, jungle murdering?

don't blame the mob, Nigerian Police Force has lost the integrity to be handed the criminal.

jungle justice....not good....say bo to jungle justice

This is very good..

Had it been the girls eye was plucked and her graphic pics was posted.. Na the same people wey dey shout say No to jungle justice go first say "Thunder fire the ritualists"

smh tho

So he confessed that he wasn't alone in the plot, yet they went ahead to kill him instead of asking him to lead them to the rest of his accomplices. Now, I believe these mobs are just blood thirsty and simply want to kill. Due to their action, his accomplices will just continue killing.

Anyway, you are the teacher, u know better!!

jungle justice is sickening...
what if the lady actually staged everything just to make the guy look like a ritualist..
some of this ladies can be treacherous...
no single investigation was done but they went straight down to justice...
becos i see no reason why a ritualist wud go to a market to carry out a ritual act wen he knows it can be very dangerous..
