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 “justice” while the beating
continued until the man gave up
the ghost.



Also on the scene, a man believed
to be an accomplice was equally
detained by the police and barely
escaped lynching by the angry
crowd.

The situation lead to
pandemonium, but immediately it
was believed the man is dead,
everyone ran from the scene for
safety.
