killed in Lagos State for allegedly trying to steal garri.
The alleged thief burnt to death in Lagos
A new report has emerged about the alleged 7-year-old boy who was
beaten and burnt to death for attempting to steal garri in Lagos.
According to new information by Assistant Commissioner of Police,
Complaint Response Unit, Abayomi Shogunle, it has been revealed that the
so-called thief was not a boy but a man who might be a member of a gang
of armed robbers that terrorized residents of Orile area of Lagos. The
body has now been deposited at the mortuary while investigation into the
matter continues.
However, a resident of the area who witnessed the whole incident
has revealed more interesting details. The unnamed resident wrote: "That
boy is part of a gang; they collect valuables from people and if you
don't comply they stab you. It has nothing to do with garri. I'm not
justifying jungle justice, just stating facts. He's not 7. He's 20
apparently. They killed someone like a month ago, he refused to drop his
phone."
