Jungle Justice: Suspected motorcycle thief burnt beyond recognition

A suspected motorcycle thief was burnt to death in the Yawuri area of Kebbi state.

Just when we thought Nigerians had moved past jungle justice, another angry mob strikes in Kebbi State.

A suspected motorcycle thief was burnt to death in the Yawuri area of the state.

This seems to be the first of such case in 2018 although there was a massive surge in jungle justice from mid-2016 to mid-2017.

Petty thefts and other crimes have been judged and sentences carried out on the streets, and it usually ends in a gory, brutal death.

Members of the public have been encouraged to report such cases and avoid taking justice into their own hands.
