A Nigerian that steals a $50 risks losing his life in the most barbaric way possible

A Nigerian that steals $1 million (or more) gets praised and cheered all the way back to his hometown.

The way you guys are showing sypmathy for mob justice? Hmmm. Pray you never be a victim of these heartless thieves who will willingly carry a weapon to upgrade their enterprise if they have the means.

Ohaneze ndigbo will issue another ultimate because of this, Igbos are criminals from birth, they keep buying yoruba lands in their warped minds, if the mofo had succeeded he would have bragged the same way, his body should be given to his brothers theodore and clifford orji to be fed on and his bones buried Thief Emeka Ojukwu

Seconded! That thief is definitely Igbo.

sometimes i wonder why most people learn in the hard way? Sadly, if they eventually burn this guy, it wount deter people from stealing!!!

but it will reduce their population by one

@op seriously is just a phone and the mumu crowd wants to burn him a life.if you look at this guy his hungry he stole the phone may be to sell and find money to eat.did he use a gun NO he did not and even the mumu owner of higher lander that left his phones inside the car to seen by every body.

Please learn this stop leaving small money or change or phones inside the car to be seen by outsiders that are passing by.

I condemn jungle justice but you saying he stole the phone because he was hungry is not right.

If every hungry person takes to stealing what do you think will happen?

A thief is a thief, for the Bible says "Do not despise a thief for he shall pay in seven folds"

Meanwhile there are many politicians that stole billions and impoverishing these idiots,they dare not touch them,but someone steals a fone and the miscreants are flexing their bastiality.
This man should be handed to the police,less these touts should be fished out with these pictures and made to face the full wrath of the law,what nonsense!

Mob justice is the product of frustrations arising from the inability of the common man to get justice against the very untouchables. So they typically overreact against those they can reach. The only way to stop mob justice is to have universal justice. But our institutions are too weak presently to ensure this.

Stop personalising and start institutionalising. Enough of Buhari, Saraki, Tinubu, Let us begin to speak and discourse about the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary, the Police, state of social justice, etc.

Bro pls I never said his actions are correct what I mean is bank managers that steal pensions money with the state official commit worst crimes but at the end they are shown respect in our society and inrespective of how many souls they have indirectly killed so to me the guy that stole the phone is just an amateur.

I just got this SOS from a reader who witnessed the incident and says it's happening right now:

Hello Laila, this is happening right now at Adeleke street, off Allen avenue in Ikeja. A thief was caught on the street this afternoon. He broke into a parked Toyota Highlander with his accomplice. They took a phone and while they were trying to make away with it...they were caught. His accomplice immediately ran away but the angry crowd are about to burn the unfortunate one they caught...I left when I noticed they might actually burn this guy. Please post this immediately.

I'm hoping someone steps up in that crowd, the right authorities get to the scene and do something before this man is burnt alive. More pics below.

Your comment is a silly one,d car and d phone belongs to one person and he decided to put his phone inside his car, is it a bad thing? Pls u can say another thing cos stealing is bad and he even has d gut to break d vehicle's glass.I am nt in support of jungle justice but u can't blame d car owner.Mind u stealing is CORRUPTION now

jomile:
so just cos we have leaders dat steal is a good reason for him to steal,don't tell me u r justifying wat he did

Can u harbour the thought of burning a Bode George,Saraki or Theodore Orji,talkless of coming near to burning them?
If these people can be made to pass thru the police and judicial process,what stops d same process for this guy?
I know:because he is poor and unkempt.You people are the worse hypocrites in this world.
I have had worse stolen from me but have never even thought of burning a thief when caught.Life u can't give,u want to take because of a phone that can mistakenly fall from your hand and gets totally destroyed;no decent human should do that.

Did they really burnt that guy? Police are not helping matters hence these obscenities

A thief is a potential killer, and a car thief a higher killer. Imagine what the owner of the car would have gone through if the criminal had succeeded.

So sad, ignorance really is an illness so this guy is about to lose his life just because of a mobile phone? Unbelievable! Can any one tell the owner of the phone that am ready to buy him 5 brand new iphone 6 to let the thief go, it seem obvious the thief has nothing to lose and ready to die but me thinks he deserves another chance to mend his ways, who made this people the judge and jury anyway?

tell me what he would go through losing his phone? This is the 4 th time i ve lost me phone am still alive, its just possessions it can be replaced!

We may see this as ordinary stealing and doesn't worth all the debate but to me, the guy deserves any measure of punishment meted out to him. Those guys can kill provided their victim resists them. I want us to remember that the south African goalkeeper was killed because he wanted to prevent thieves from taking his girlfriend's phone. Imagine! So if dem like make dem burry him alive, e nor concern me.

Burn that bastard please on my knees

I would really appreciate it if u don't call me an hypocrite,am not justifying wat dey r doing either,my family has gone through alot in d hands of dese thiefs,because of dem I lost a loved one,my mum almost lost her life,dese thiefs can't give life but dey can take it with out blinking an eye,just cos he is poor dos not mean he should steal,or will you do d same if u r poor or hungry,he is not a cripple,dere r many people who r poor nd hungry but dey don't make stealing dere means of surviving,I come across dese people every day,nd I have much respect for dem,dere r many ways to kill a rat,if u don't have any education y not learn any handiwork or learn a trade,he steals cos he wanted to

nice one burn please!

This is barbaric. Involve d authority n stop this madness

I pity those who are involved in such act of killing. Yours own death will be beyond human understanding.
Instead of burning the corrupt politician that loot public fund, you won't instead u condemn a poor man to death.
Nigerian will forever be stupid. Your $20billion subsidy fund got looted by Jonathan and co, instead of you to burn for such reason, u did not instead you see down in your poverty stricken home and condole such act of stealing....
Black man without no sense for all those who were involved in that man condemnation...Foolish masses that how you being referred at ashole rock..

U have made ur point and I withdraw the hypocrite in my retort. But d point remains, why don't we apply same standards for all thieves?
Let me give u an eg:those former MDs who ran some banks aground sent many people to their early graves and some who are alive today have not been able to recover from their shattered lives. Yet these bankers are movers and shakers of societies today and are celebrated.
Nobody,absolutely nobody should justify burning another human for stealing.If burning was even so effective,why do people still steal in Nigeria despite mob action that has been going on for God knows when?That's food for thought for you.
