Is there any justification for mob action? This young man was brutally beaten to pulp after being caught stealing plantain to feed his family. The boy was first stripped totally unclad, tied to a pole before he was beaten mercilessly with different kinds of weapons the crowd could lay their hands on.

Judging from his state in the picture, one can't begin to imagine the kind of mass beating he received. The exact location of this jungle justice was not revealed.

this is serious

Eyaaa.. he is their fellow human being and a very younger one at that..

What comes to some people's mind when they hear that someone stole FOOD? There is an extent to which hunger can push someone especially if what was stolen is food.

They should have released him and given him the plantain to go home after such a critical punishment..

This is where some dry brained officers of the black uniform will come and flex their muscles and will totally forget that the boy is underaged. It is well..
Sorry young boy.. it is well

Still wondering if its actually plantain he stole because I see no plantain here.

I think he kinda deserves it

the mob action is uncalled for




why can't they mob our pen robbers and beat them silly than this hungry poor boy

I tink I have made myself clear, but it's just my opinion. everyone is entitled to his/hers

ok,ma'am/Sir

I couldn't help but shed tears

how can human being be this wicked ?

this guy didn't steal phone or laptop for crying out loud.

this is so uncalled-for.


oh poor hungry boy!!
may the Lord heal you.
provide for you
Nd cloth your unclothedness.........

Let's face fact last year the hunger been no dey like this oh how did we get here

in as much as I hate stealing, i do not subscribe to jungle justice wen it has to do with hunger, hunger reduces one to half a madman, hunger causes one not to think rationally, in my opinion, the boy shouldn't have been beaten, the worst dey cld have done was to collect the plantain from and let him go... na wa For our pple

You don't the exact location took place, but you knew that he stole plantain to feed his family...**Gossip Gossip**

Well for mob to beat him like this, he must have been committing a particular crime in that neighborhood and getting away with it, so dey finally caught him today or he has committed a very abominable act. A mob will never do this to a first timer. Dat is not to encourage to go and steal other people stuff o.....I don't support jungle justice though.. But at times the niggahs deserve it... In case you don't know, go to Oshodi in Lagos and those boys snatches your wallet/purse from your hands and seeing them running off without being confronted.

PrettyCrystal:
I think he kinda deserves it

Aww, that's not pretty at all
Logic says he deserves it but considering the extenuating circumstances of his act of theft being predicated by hunger pangs; you gotta let this one slide.

So, which one would you pick between this chap and his Northern counterpart in Boko Haram killing squads or say some Southern boy hacking fellow students to death as a CAmpus Cultist?

This boy should've been given Counseling & Community Service for goodness sake, at worst, he could have been sent to a Remand Center geared towards Behavioural Correction. OR don't you think that they doing this to him's actually catalyzing his becoming a fullblown criminal faster? More Nigerian hoodlums are now coming back from jail more schooled and equipped for criminal living and really, I mean nastily, wicked rather than repentant & purposeful or don't you know?

There're degrees to evil and the retributive justice that should prolly follow. Fayose pushing his Zenith bank drama back and forth, Diezani's got your money shaded and all you can vent your frustrations on are young chaps stealing plantain?

With this kain casually dismissive, and mean, jungle justice thing we're so quick to enact and justify, Nigeria still has some ways to go!

What I dnt get is.....after all the beating ANd injuries ....will dah change the country's economy....??...#SayNoToJungleJustice

I am sure they wouldn't just beat someone like this for stealing just "plaintain" na... Maybe a thief has been terrorizing that area and the boy was just so unlucky for him to be caught that day..

It hurt my feelings to see d young boy beaten cos of food...not nice atall..

jungle justice cus of plantain y they hail dasuki,tinubu, etc stupweed people

There is no justifiable reason for any crime. Both the thief and the mob are guilty.

But Buhari is a tyrant for not allowing thieves to walk free on the road.

Poor people poor mentality.

Until jungle justice is extended to civil servants, its not any form of justice at all................i just dey vex.............plantain. ...........
..plantain....
