Three suspected kidnappers were lynched by an angry mob in Ozanogogo, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State after they allegedly abducted a local hunter.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred on March 6, 2025, around 6:45 p.m. when youths of the community captured the suspects after tracking them through a ransom call made with the victim’s SIM card.
The victim, identified as Oza Smart, was abducted while hunting in the bush. His captors later contacted his wife to demand a ransom, which alerted the community.
“Youths of Ozanogogo mobilized and stormed the forest, successfully rescuing the victim and capturing three of the five suspected kidnappers,” the source said.
The sources said that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Agbor Division, DSP Jafaru Umaru, swiftly mobilized two patrol teams to the scene to prevent the suspects from being set ablaze. However, the mob had already inflicted severe injuries on them.
The victims were rushed to General Hospital, Agbor, for medical attention, while the bodies of the lynched suspects were evacuated to the hospital mortuary for autopsy and preservation.
No arrests have been made in connection with the mob action, but police have intensified patrols in the community to restore calm and prevent further violence.
