Cobbler stabs customer to death, lynched

http://newtelegraphonline.com/cobbler-stabs-customer-death-lynched/
A mob has roasted alive a cobbler, identified simply as ‘Aboki,’ in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, after he allegedly killed his ‘customer’ with a poisonous dagger. 

A witness, who refused to give his name because of the security implication of the case, said the cobbler of northern extraction, had gone to No. 12, Abangasang, off Etta Agbo Road to repair shoes for one Eteyen.
It was gathered that after the man worked on the shoes, an argument ensued on how much to be paid. “Before we knew what was happening, the ‘Aboki’ had removed his dagger, which I believe is poisonous and stabbed Eteyen in the stomach. Eteyen fell down while the Aboki packed his things and wanted to run,” the source said.
