if we can't summon the courage to burn our politicians alive; then it is wrong to burn anybody alive. if you are sensible,empathetic and want the good of this nation,then this is your fault! you left leadership to people who don't care about the education and empowerment of nigerians; just see what ignorance of the nigerian populace almost caused; a human life would have been destroyed for a phone!

An alleged phone thief has been rescued from being lynched by an angry mob for allegedly stealing a mobile phone in Calabar South, Cross River State. The incident happened on August 8, at Mayne Avenue by Murray.

The mob beat him, put car tyres around his neck and were about to set him ablaze when a team of Policemen arrived the scene and whisked him away.

It's cases like this that'll make you believe that police is your friend

YOU WANT TO SET SOMEBODY ABLAZE BECAUSE OF HE THIEF ODNARY PHONE BUT THE PEOPLE WHO THEIF BILLION OF NAIRA YOU WILL CLAP FOR THEM AND GIVE THEM TITLE WHO IS FOOLING WHO.

Only hardened criminals set other criminals ablaze.

Say no to jungle justice. You might end up killing an innocent person.

The guy must have had so many thoughts running through his mind. At that moment when they were going to set him ablaze,He would be thinking "ah God! so na so i want take die? so na like this my life wan take end? And suddenly the angel of mercy in the the form of nigerian police came and rescued him from imminent death by roasting.God just gave him a second chance.God said he would not die like this.I pray he makes good use of that second chance to turn a new leave and become a better person in future.

Haba but he is not a south African

Larryfest:
Ahah just because of a phone

You won't understand how heartless and wicked these thieves are. I really don't blame people who send them to the other side.

Eyaa

They couldn't even reason from the perspective that the guy was just hungry ..smh.
As much as I don't justify the act of stealing but at the same time, we still need to be humane and empathic in this country.
The only justification that could be understandable for lynching is if the guy killed someone in the process of stealing the phone.

He saw dead in a flash. If he's smart, he'll turn a new leaf, but not everyone is wise.

Bunch of illiterate setting their fellow Nigerian ablaze because of phone when politicians that stole and sucked dry your destiny are walking free on the street. Shame on you all

His angels are still awake.

He should henceforth use that photo as his screensaver.

I know when he saw the police he now finally believe that police is your friend.

Justice without mercy is Tyranny

Do you steal?

Thank God for the Police. The thief would have been in hell by now if not for God's mercy.

Larryfest:
Ahah just because of a phone

Have you ever been a victim?

Hmm thats one of the most horrific thing to do to set ur fellow human ablaze

jkendy:
Whats the difference between the slaughters of our citizens in SA and we being wicked to our fellows down at home
In as much as I know how painful it is to be dispossessed of your hard earned property, jungle justice shouldn't be the best practice in this modern era.
The police be appreciated here for their prompt intervention though at times they could be mischievous and unreliable but for saving the life of this dude they've done well.
Let him face the law for his crime.
If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime!

We all need a second chance at life. Who knows he might turn a new leaf in jail. Being in jail for 5 years is better than death.
