Alhaji Kassimu Umar, a lecturer at the Taraba College of Education, Zing, was on Friday burnt to death in a mob action after he allegedly hit and killed five primary school pupils with a vehicle he was driving.
Mr Joseph Kwaji, the Police Public Relation Officer(PPRO), of the Taraba State Police Command confirmed the incident in Jalingo.
According to him, the angry mob forcefully removed Umar from the Police Outpost, where he went to report the incident, and he was burnt to death.
The lecturer was trying to dodge an on-coming trailer, when he ran over the pupils aged between 8-11.
After he reported the incident, hundreds of angry youths stormed the station, dragged him out and lynched him.
The issue is currently under investigation and no arrest has been made so far.
