According to Information, a seven-year-old boy has
been burnt to death in the Badagry area of Lagos State,Nigeria for allegedly attempting
to steal garri from a trader’s shop.
Garri is a popular West African food made from cassava tubers.
The suspect, it was gathered, was nabbed by some men in the
area who descended on him and beat him to a pulp before hanging a tire on his
neck and setting him on fire, despite pleas by many to hand him over to the
police since he had not actually committed the crime.
This is not the first time suspects have been lynched to
death in the most gruesome of manners with the crowd often not wanting to know
what offense they committed before killing them.
