Heartbreaking Moment Little Boy Was Burnt To Death For Stealing

A little boy has allegedly been lynched in the Badagry area of Lagos for stealing a phone, according to reports.

Several reports and videos making the rounds on the social media indicate that the boy was set ablaze after being beaten up by the mob.

From voices heard in the video it is alleged that he wanted to kill the owner of the phone before he was lynched. The sad incident happened at Alafia along Badagry-Expressway of Lagos, on the 15th of November.

However, the assistant Commissioner of Police, Abayomi Shogunle, who is the officer in charge of the Complaints Response Unit (CRU), at the Force headquarters, Abuja, took to his Twitter handle to clarify that the person that was killed was a man and not a boy, and that the corpse is currently in the mortuary for autopsy, and investigation on how he died is on going.
