Teenagers torture 25-year-old man to death cos he snatched the girlfriend of one of them

“I have been going out with Ruth since two years now. We promised to marry each other, but since Atiku came between us, he would not allow me to enjoy the girl anymore. He was coming with money and lots of gifts to lure the girl away from me; things became so bad that the girl didn’t want to see me again.

“I was full of rage, and so I went to organised some boys to attack Atiku and teach him a lesson. That was after Ruth had gone back home and he (Atiku) and his friends were going back to their camp.
