Three suspected robbers burnt to death

Three suspected armed robbers were early hours of Friday burnt beyond recognition around the perimeter fence of the Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi (FUAM).

While the sources present could not ascertain if the robbers were students or cultists, a student, who refused to disclose his name, said there was suspicion that the deceased were students who went on a revenge mission following the Wednesday killing of a 200 level undergraduate at the Benue State University (BSU) campus in Makurdi.

FUAM Public Relations Officer, Joseph Fanafa said no identity cards were found on them and dismissed any claims of the deceased being students or cultists.

“No identity card was found on them or either any other form of identification because the bodies were burnt beyond recognition,” Fanafa stated.
