The middle aged woman suspected to be a child thief was nabbed, stripped naked and beaten to death in Owerri, Imo State capital.
According to Vanguard, the woman, who was identified simply as Chioma, was allegedly caught while trying to steal a baby boy at the Ogugba Park, in Owerri municipality.
Before the furious mob killed the female child thief, she was made to confess her sins. She allegedly said that she was the only daughter of her parents and hailed from Obudi Agwa in Oguta local council area, but was currently living at Ogbaku in Mbaitoli local government area of the state.
A woman, who witnessed the crime, told Vanguard that “the lady carefully took the little boy from where his mother laid him”. Continuing, she added that Chioma wanted to hurriedly leave the place after picking the boy. But she was noticed and nabbed by people around the scene.
“The angry mob was not prepared to listen to those that wanted her to be handed over to the police for proper investigation. Barely a few minutes after stripping her, the mob descended on her and the rest became history”, a witness recalled.
Speaking to correspondent, the shocked mother of the child thanked God for saving her family from the grief and agony that would have befallen them. She also expressed her gratitude to those people who spotted the child thief and stopped her from kidnapping him.
A similar tragic story happened in Lagos when a mob overpowered security guards and took laws into their hands. The furious crowd of people lynched a man, accused of being a thief and a child kidnapper.
