A woman in Ondo, who was previously believed to be insane, has been burnt alive by a mob after she allegedly attempted to kidnap a child.

The woman, identified simply as “Ayababa”,  is said to have made her “residence” near a dump site along the Oluseyi Street area of Ondo town,

She was allegedly seen by some youths of the area trying to drag a 7-year-old boy into an uninhabited building.

The boy shouted for help and the residents pounced on the woman and set her ablaze.

Vanguard reports:

The victim, according to investigation, was on his way to school when the woman attempted to kidnap him. Further questioning by the youths revealed that she was actually a sane person who had all along pretended to be a lunatic.

One of the youths reportedly removed the artificial hair on her head and she was later discovered to have fixed expensive finger nails. These discoveries, it was learnt, infuriated the youths who applied jungle justice by setting her ablaze after pouring petrol on her.

A Blackberry and Nokia handsets were later recovered from the woman’s bag. She was said to have confessed before she met her death that she used to come from Osogbo in Osun State thrice a month for the kidnap business.

According to an eyewitness, the woman said she was not the only one in the business as others had fled immediately she was arrested. Vanguard gathered that the woman would, during the day, operate as a lunatic to scout for victims and at night go after her targets.

Nemesis, however, caught up with her as she could not wait for the night before pouncing on the boy which led to her arrest and subsequent death. It was learnt that the deceased had some men accomplices within the town who assisted her to ferry the victims out of the town.
