Four students of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) were reportedly burnt to death last Friday by a mob at Aluu Community for allegedly stealing phones and laptops.

The murdered students were alleged to have stolen the items in an off-campus hostel. The students were said to be in their early 20s.

The students named Ugonna, Aladdin, Chidiaka, and the last guy were severely beaten by the mob and burnt to death using car tyres.

According to witnesses, the irate mob refused to involve the police in the case for prosecution before performing crude justice on the said students.
