While confirming the teacher’s death, Daniel disclosed further that the car’s driver eloped from the scene as the mob appeared uncontrollable.
He added that efforts to calm the menacing mob proved abortive because it was a market.
“Effort to bring the situation under control was futile as it was at the market square. The mob, before anyone could move the vehicle, set it ablaze and it was burnt beyond recognition.
