Angry
mob took laws into their hands and brutalized a man to death for
stealing ATM card in Asaba, Thursday evening at the ogbeogonogo market.
According to eyewitnesses, the man was caught attempting to make away
with a bag containing the card when the owner raised alarm. The man was
subsequently seized by angry traders in a mob action resulting to the
man convulsing to death.
Our correspondent also gathered in the scene that men of the Nigerian
Police Force (NPF) were seen attempting to rescue the man from the mob
action, but were overwhelmed by the crowd who desperately want the head
of the thief.
While the victim was struggling with death, onlookers were saying he was
only pretending in order to evade 鈥渏ustice鈥� while the beating continued
