DR Congo’s Mysterious Metal Monolith Destroyed by Mob
BBC | February 18, 2021
A metal structure that mysteriously appeared on a roundabout in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been destroyed over fears about its origins.
People in the capital, Kinshasa, stoned and torched the 12ft (3.7m) triangular prism.
Witnesses say residents destroyed it to see what was inside.
Local mayor Bayllon Gaibene told the BBC that he had now sent some of the material to be tested by scientists to find out about its origins.
He denied an accusation by Kinshasa’s Governor Gentiny Ngobila that he was responsible for the mysterious monolith.
Mr. Ngobila’s spokesman had said the mayor had wanted to create a buzz.
