Gist From HgsMediaPlus

A 45 - year- old man , Yusuf Ibrahim, has lost his life in jungle justice after a mob lynched him over a car battery allegedly stolen at Nato Park , Tin Can Island, Apapa , Lagos .

It was later discovered that the battery was found with one Yusuf Yahaya , who works around Tin Can First Gate – some distance from the park.

Our correspondent learnt that the incident happened on Monday, January 7 , 2019, around 7. 30 am .

The victim was said to be one of the destitute people who sometimes passed the night on the premises, where trucks are parked .

It was gathered that when one of the truck drivers resumed duty that morning , he discovered that the battery of his vehicle was missing .

He raised the alarm and a search party was formed to fish out the perpetrator .

A commercial motorcyclist ( popularly known as okada rider ) in the area , who identified himself only as Salisu, told reported that some drivers suspected Ibrahim and accosted him .

He said , “I was on my motorcycle , coming from Liverpool , Apapa that morning when I saw a crowd at the park. I moved closer and saw a man ( Ibrahim) covered in blood . He had been beaten to a pulp. I asked people what happened and they told me he stole the battery of a truck .

“ The man had lost his strength and he was almost dead . Passersby were afraid to take him to a hospital . I later left the scene for fear of being implicated . ”

Salisu said about 30 minutes later , he went back to the scene and was told that some policemen had come to remove Ibrahim’ s corpse.

He said sadness overwhelmed him when he learnt that the battery was found with somebody else.
“ It was discovered that the battery was actually stolen by a young man called Yahaya. I learnt he worked around Tin Can First Gate ,” the
okada rider added .

Another eyewitness , who identified himself as Danladi , said entreaties by some people to stop the mob from lynching Ibrahim were rebuffed.

He said the mob dispersed the scene upon noticing that the victim was dying , adding that some suspects had been arrested by the police .

How them wan do the real thief now?

Isoright
Injustice

This is the main cause of boko haram

Reason I am always against mob action. You don't know whose turn next.

No matter how bad the police have become, do your bit, hand over the suspect to them.

They just killed an innocent man. Could have been anybody.

Not even for something tangible. A battery of 20k. If they must, three slaps would have been okay. What is life worth in Nigeria.

May God save us from ourselves.

I hope Xisnin, RTSC, oyetboy and all those already condemning R Kelly without giving him a fair hearing will learn something from this story

This is what you get from a third world country developing nation...

People are just transferring their aggression to any suspected criminal. Miserable mobs.
