A female identified as Hajiya Bilkisu, a suspected accomplice of a kidnapping gang has been lynched by members of the Mariri community in the Lere local government area in Kaduna State.

Bilkisu was lynched for housing seven suspected bandits identified as Musa Adamu, Abdullahi Usman, Suleiman Hasidu, Usman Jibril, Saidu Isah, Hassan Abdulhamid and Idris Sani when she tried to escape.

According to the report, the arrests were the result of sustained intelligence gathering by the troops of Operation Safe Haven.
