Another Jungle Justice In Lasgidi: Car Thief Set Ablaze By Mob In Lagos

In another instance of jungle justice, (the last one in the last 24 hours was in south East, see that here) a suspected criminal who was supposedly found stealing a brain box from a parked auto, was pounded on into a bloody mess and set burning by a crowd in the Apapa territory of Lagos State toward the beginning of today, August 19.

As indicated by observers, the monstrous scenen occurred at Isikalu Street Junction, Olodi-Apapa, in Ajeromi/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state when the young fellow was nabbed in the demonstration of vandalizing an auto.

It was accumulated that the alleged thief was caught at around 4 am by a few occupants who, in the wake of beating him altogether, tied him till around 6 am when other residents woke up and met him. The lawless croud suddenly set him ablaze, overlooking recommendations that he be given over to the police, with some trusting that he would be set free by the law enforcement officers.

A man who saw the scene said the incensed youth brought used tires, petrol and a match box with which they smoldered the thief, bringing about a snarl of traffic in the area.
