Watching a young boy being killed in such horrific way will never bring back your brother.


The murder of that boy was cruel and can never be justified.

Oreoo:
and the new recruit if caught will be burnt accordingly..

southniyikaye:
The guys story is really pathetic but two wrongs don't make a right, they could have just handed him over to the police

veekid:

yeah I concur; but not like a poor 7 year old boy

midehi2:
hian! very sad story, but I hope with this your statement, you won't be held responsible for the lynching because sometimes police think with their anus, That thief aint 7yrs old, he is more than, despite this, them go still dey rob for that bus stop.

Peacetemi:
Just look at the awful mentality of these people.
Do you think there aren't far worse criminals than these in foreign countries? Especially in the United States
There are loads of serial killers, rapists, and horrid paedophiles.

But when they're caught, they still hand them to the police.

Nigeria is a disgrace to humanity!





And where did you get that from?

londonrivals:

A social media user has narrated he and his family’s experience with the Alafia Bus stop thieves.

Recall that a photo went viral yesterday of a thief who was mobbed and subsequently burnt by angry Lagosians, the social media user, Harrison who is a presenter narrated the incident which he reported happened not far from his house.

Read his tweets below:

1. Let me share my own side of this lynching story. From where the alleged thief was burnt, to my house is a trekable.

2. It is a notorious bus-stop for phone thieves i.e Alafia, the bus-stop before Orile, if you’re coming from Mile 2.

3. I lost my blood brother to these thieves in January of this year. He was 20, & was coming back from dance rehearsal.

4. He was holding his friend’s Samsung Tab when the thieves approached him & without warning, stabbed him in the neck.

5. His friends didn’t know what happened cus he was at the back. After he was stabbed, he ran towards his friends…

6. And cried for them to help him, that he had been stabbed. Immediately after making that statement, he collapsed.

7. My bro. is huge in size, so it was difficult for his friends to lift him. Even when they did, nobody stopped for …

8. them or offered to take him to a hospital. A good Samaritan bikeman helped and took him to a near by quack hospital.

9. The hospital rejected him. It was a lost cause. So his friends abandoned his lifeless body on the road opposite the

10. hospital. One of them ran 2 my house to call me. I had just come back from d gym, i had only gym pants on, no shirt

11. I did an intense squat programme that day. Mind you, i never do squats in the gym. I flung my phone and ran out as

12. fast as my tired legs could carry me, half naked. I didn’t even know my mum was following me. I got to the hospital

13. and saw my brother’s lifeless body on the floor with dozens of people staring at him like he just landed on earth.

14. I fainted, but some folks revived me and put me on a bike with my bro’s body. They put my mum on another bike.

15. Some of our neigbours who had heard my mum screaming also followed us. It was difficult for the bike to balance cus

16. of my bro’s weight. So our neighbours carried him on their hands to another hospital, which also rejected him on

17. the spot. I heard a medical worker say, eleyi ti ku na, which translates to this one is dead na. I begged for them

18. to check him at least. They refused and told us to go the General hospital. We took off again inside a keke…

19. I was half-naked at the busstop begging bike men, keke & anything on wheels to help lift my brother. None answered

12. Long story cut short, my family is still recovering from the trauma of that night. Sometimes, my mum waits for us

13. to go to bed, before draining herself in her tears. It has been months, but go and see my mum now. She looks frail

14. and has been aging rapidly, thanks to over thinking. When i don’t pick my call, she goes into panic mode. She might

15. never recover. I sent messages to @YomiShogunle and @rrslagos767 and also to @aleeygiwa. @aleeygiwa called back &

16. we spoke for minutes. I complained about that busstop and that we reported to the near by Police station, but they

17. refused to do anything. @aleeygiwa promised to visit and check out the notorious spot himself. I’ve been waiting

18. since January. Now, read carefully. After the murder of my brother, i have heard that close to a dozen people have

19. lost their lives to the same phone thieves at Alafia busstop. I happen to know one. A young and newly married man

12. who had a shop close 2 my street. I have also met people who have escaped these murderers by a whisker. The thieves

21. in Alafia busstop don’t ask for your phone. They stab you and then take it from you. On Saturday, i was preparing

22. to head out for a soccer match when a friend called. He sounded excited, like he just won a lottery. ”Obi, he said

23. i just witnessed the lynching of a thief in the same busstop your brother was murdered.” My mum was close by. so

24. i told her what my pal just told me. This was what she said ” The spirit of Obinna(my brother) will not rest until

25. his killers are dead. I didn’t heed 2 calls to go to a shrine. I know my son can fight for himself, dead or alive”

26. See, it is easy to speak up against lynching when you’ve never been a victim of these fuckers. You don’t have

27. nightmares like my entire family does. You can speak up because you have never ever seen your dad cry like a baby

28. over the death of his son, or your mum continuously deteriorating as a result of over thinking. Praying day & night

29. that she doesn’t loose another child 2 these murderers. I was defending d thief, thinking it was truly a 7 year old

30. It just connected, when i saw the tweets from @YomiShogunle confirming it was the same thief that my friend called

31. about. If i was there, i would have personally bought d fuel used in burning him. The thieves had no plans to stop

32. Hopefully, when the community starts to take matters into their hands and show these retards that we mean business,

33. they might stop making families miserable. And oh, these guys once threw a man off that Alafia bridge for refusing

34. to hand over his phone. I am against lynching by the way. But this particular issue is very personal to me. Thanks

See it is high time the government start picking up parents of thieves and robbers and start jailing them for bringing problem into the society. It sounds funny But reallly Why must you bring a child you can't take care into the world. Once some ppl give birth to Children they don't care how they survive, no training no nothing. They thereby grow up on the street become societal Headaches.

Appliedmaths:
Kill him and kill his spirit again. Burn his already burnt body. Its like you people don't know families these guys have rendered useless...

july66:
I guess people just poured their anger on the thief but what lead to the death of this Obinna may have been caused by something else. With the description of his size, he may have bullied somebody who waited to take his pound of flesh. Not right though but some of this folks do terrible things.

Viking007:

Dont mind all those people posting trash bout reporting to the police. If only they know how ruthless and demonic these criminals are.

They can be very ruthless, with no single human sympathy. Experience they say is the best teacher. I've experienced it & I'm surely going to do the same thing. Burn them to hell!

prettythicksme:
Seriously babe,this is not funny.I dont believe i could shake without feeling cold the day i was attacked,those bastards no get mercy oo.

ZoneBslayer:
and killing this boy will bring back your lost kin? or will it make your loss more bearable? that is assuming it was even this boy that killed your kin... I can't bear to see animals slaughtered, much more a young boy..these unbridled murder in the full glare of the public is why this cesspit of a country will NEVER succeed..the wanton spilling of blood in broad daylight has polluted the very ground upon which Nigerians walk..

Laveda:

Ikr? I've been there and I sure know how it feels like, these thieves don't even show mercy they are ready to kill just to collect that your small phone.

Even tho I don't support jungle justice due to the fact that innocent ones might be harmed, I don't care if these guilty ones are caught and this kinda judgement melted out.
Most of them have no consciense.

Funny thing is, after this they'll still continue with the act.

Weeks to my wedding myself and my wife where robbed early morning on our way to the office, windscreen shattered, four mobile phones stolen.

My wife cried because she was so terrified, I was upset because I felt helpless and couldn't protect my woman.

Ever since I made up my mind to be ready whenever this happens again, this led to paranoia.

Late October 2016 on my way to the office descending eko bridge saw this dude running towards my car I had nothing in my car to protect myself because I sold my car with the weapon I had in case of robbery. Luckily for me he was going to rob the car by my side (driver side), as he was at it I couldn't let him have a field day to rob those innocent people so I decided to help.

I accelerated and pinned the thief to the body of the car he was busy robbing even as I heard something snap in his body I didn't let him go he scream and fought my car, but the thief didn't drop the phone as he held onto it like his life depended on it. Had to let him go because the occupant of the robbed car where so frightened to act and I no wan je gbese of you bash my car.

If the guy had fell in front of my car I wouldn't mind killing him and I can guarantee you i'll have no remorse.
