The incident happened in Alheri junction, Biu road of Gombe State. A security official drove into a procession of Christian youth, celebrating Easter, killing at least eight people on Sunday night.

The survivors among the youth then chased the security official and his passenger, caught up with them and lynched them.

The driver of the vehicle is said to be an official of the civil defence (NSCDC) while his passenger is said to be a police officer. Both men died from the beating.

Chairman of the Gombe State Battalion Brigade of the Boys Brigade, Isaac Kwadang, told reporters that he received information about the incident around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. According to him, the civil defence officer, though not on official duty, met the procession, exchanged words with the youth, and drove past them. He allegedly switched off his car’s full lights, reversed the vehicle and rammed into the procession killing eight people on the spot.
