Arusha. A Tanzania Assemblies of God (TAG) Kanani Mpya Church pastor in Kitiangare, Arusha, Ms Salome Kikoti, has recounted how she rescued a 19-year-old man from being burnt alive by residents after he was accused of stealing a mobile phone in Arusha.

The youth, Mr Kelvin Alex of Ngulelo, was allegedly seized by an angry mob at Sekei kwa Shabani area following a street robbery incident involving a mobile phone snatching case.

Pastor Kikoti said she intervened because she believed the young man still had a chance to reform and should be handed over to the police rather than subjected to mob justice.
