A suspected thief who was caught stealing a brain box from a car this morning, August 19, was reportedly beaten and set ablaze by an angry mob in Apapa area of Lagos state.

The unfortunate incident took place at Isikalu street junction, Olodi-Apapa, when the young man was allegedly caught breaking into a car.

According to www.metronaija.com, the thief was nabbed around 4 am by some residents. After beating him thoroughly, he was tied till about 6 am when other residents woke up and met him.

The angry mob immediately set him on fire, ignoring suggestions that he should be handed over to the police, with some believing that he would be set free by the law enforcement officers.



An eyewitness at the scene said the youth brought used tyres, petrol and a match box with which they used to burn the thief, causing traffic jam in the area.

“People in the area are not happy about how the brain boxes of their vehicles usually develop wings overnight. Many vehicles in the area have been vandalised and many of the parts removed,” he said.

Meanwhile, a 27-year-old robbery suspect identified as Ahmed Rewanu has alleged that the police arrested him with the aid of charm because he was caught by surprise, with no option for escape.

Chai. We need to build a legal system that people can trust, else jungle justice may not stop.

Imagine not handing the suspect over to law enforcement because they felt he would get released. It is well....

Even wen jungle justice seems fierce , yet some criminals wont take corrections.. Even in d future, another unlucky hoodlum will still be caught by an angry mob and set ablaze.
