It was alleged that children have been missing in the neighbourhood for about a month, the last being a pupil of Wisdom School who was kidnapped not far from the school premises.
After the irate crowd beat the woman until she was bleeding, she confessed that she sold the last child she stole at Ilorin.
Following the confession by the suspect, the crowd assembled fuel and tyres to set the suspect ablaze but policemen from the Owode Oniri division intervened and rescued the woman.
The intervention by the police infuriated the mob who attacked the police patrol van shattering the windscreen in the process.
Angry that the police stopped them from killing the woman, the crowd moved to the police station threatening to set it on fire.
