What happened to Ekene Agala is a painful reminder of why we must never rush to judgment.

A woman initially accused Ekene of stealing ₦2 million and claimed there was CCTV footage to prove it. Based on that allegation, estate security and others nearly lynched him through jungle justice.

Today, the story has changed. The same woman now says there is no CCTV footage and claims it was a little child who allegedly saw Ekene taking the money.

This raises serious questions and reinforces an important lesson. Never follow the crowd without knowing the facts.

Tomorrow, we will begin the process of ensuring that Ekene Agala gets justice. We thank God he survived the mob attack.

Let this serve as a reminder to everyone, don't be quick to judge based on viral videos, rumours, or public sentiment. The truth often lies beyond the first story you hear.

Emerging facts now point to Ekene's innocence in the allegation against him. We will find out.

It can actually happen to anybody especially poor people like us.
A good looking man with car can easily scam POS people than a dirty looking person.

NotOfThisWorld:
That is so awful. That woman should not go scot-free, along with the guys who performed the jungle justice. Nigeria is a useless country, because the police should've been called and a fair investigation should've been conducted. You don't just do this to an innocent man, smh.
