Update From . COM

The Cross River State Police Command has condemned the jungle justice meted out to a suspected Phone thief in Calabar.

The Suspect identified simply as Eyo, aged 22, was set on fire by an angry mob on Sunday, April 9, 2023, in Esu Street, off Edim Otop Street, Atimbo, Calabar Municipality LGA of the state.

According to an eyewitness, Eyo had allegedly stolen an android phone the previous evening and fled, only to return the next morning and meet his tragic fate.

Residents claim Eyo, who resided around the Second transformer in Inyanghasang, had been involved in petty theft for a long time.

“I have known Eyo since secondary school, he has always been stealing, there was a time he stole half of the class school fees. Even as we grew into our 20s, Eyo became audacious in stealing and more notorious, he was always caught stealing, this is not the first time a mob tried to mob him, it’s unfortunate that he got unlucky today,” a source told Vanguard.

"They started beating him with cutlasses and gave him deep cuts before setting him ablaze. Funny enough, it’s just for stealing an Android phone,” the source added.

The spokesperson of the command, SP Irene Ugbo, who confirmed the incident, stated that it is illegal for anyone to take laws into their hands.

Ugbo added that the right thing to do would have been to report the suspect to the nearest police station and hand him over, rather than killing him in such a gruesome manner.

"The mob action against the suspect was illegal, barbaric and highly unacceptable, he should have been handed over to the police,” she added.

Why not hand him over to the police.

Cross River and akwa ibom are filled with the most heartless, backwards and intensely primitive people on the planet.

If it's not religious superstition, it's rape, or family drama, or land wars.

Chai this is horrible...how can a mob of human beings take a life because of something as common as smart phone ..some of our citizens have lost their humanity..he wasn't even caught in the act ..why not report him to police instead sending him out of this world in this crude manner
.....the only way this wickedness can be justified is if the boy was using gun to Rob his victims... armed robbers deserve such treatment since they were prepared to kill but petty thieves deserve a jail sentence
The police should just leave the corpse there to rotten and smell, so that they will learn.

This is bad completely bad considering the fact that an innocent person could be wrongly accused and set ablaze before realising he or she is innocent. Also, the price of phone is so small that a whole human life should just go for it.

That said, in a way I can understand why people do those things sometimes. Just last night I was by the road side (an express) when I noticed a lady walking towards me dejectedly. She had wanted to cross the road but couldn't in that state. So before she got to me a vehicle slow down and try to ask her for direction but she did answer them then they came to me, I directed them and they left. She then asked me to help her cross the express to the other side. It was while crossing with her she told me she was just dropped off a vehicle after being robbed of her phones and wallet containing her ATM cards and other valuables at gun points. Just imagine that kind of situation.

She felt vulnerable, shattered and dejected with her movement plans scattered and valuable taken away. Will she have any pity for such a person if he happened to be caught?

And they're all just standing, watching and chatting like it's no big deal. Anyone who supports what they've done to this guy is nothing but a beast.
