BAUCHI — The Bauchi State Police Command has
rescued a middle aged man found with a human leg
from being lynched by a mob in Gudun village,
Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Haruna Mohammed, who disclosed this yesterday
in Bauchi, said that Police initially arrested a man
(names withheld) with a human leg in Bauchi.
He added that after investigation, it was discovered
that the leg belonged to his father, which was
amputated in the hospital because of an illness.
Mohammed said: “The hospital gave him the
amputated leg to go and bury. As a stranger, he
pleaded with an Okada rider to take him to the
outskirt of the town where he will dispose of it.
“Unfortunately for him, the motorcycle rider took
him to Gudun village and alerted the public. The
enraged mob took laws in their hands and started
beating him before he was rescued by the police.”
He added that after he was rescued, the Police took
his statement and paid a visit to the hospital, where
they met his father whose leg was amputated.
He said: “The father of the man gave us the same
story and we feel there is nothing incriminating
against the suspect.
“We released him and he was admitted in the
hospital because of the beating the villagers gave
him.”
