The incident which happened on Thursday, March 31, saw the crowd corner the man who, before then, was reputed to be invincible, and before he could disappear, pelted him with all manners of weapons and were hell bent on burning him before the police arrived and whisked him away.
The angry mob allegedly accused the now deceased Kunle Poly of kidnapping four people and turning them to goats.
According to an eyewitness who participated in the jungle justice, said Kunle Poly and two of his accomplices who managed to escape, had gone to Abayawo-Oko, a village in the outskirt of Ilorin, and allegedly kidnapped four people.
The witness stated that villagers who saw the suspects while abducting their victims, chased them with motorcycles.
