A young Nigerian lady has fallen victim of another
mob action barely two weeks after the gruesome
murder of four students of the University of Port
Harcourt ( UNIPORT ) in Umuokiri, Aluu
Community, Rivers State.
The lady, who was accused of stealing a phone,
was shamefully assaulted in the video clip, which
has gone viral on the internet.
The incident took place at an upscale shopping
mall in Lagos.
The mob descended on the lady, stripped her
naked and beat her to a pulp.
This happened amidst cheers and jeers from
onlookers who were busy videoing the
detestable act.
Despite efforts to ward off the several blows
rained on her, she had objects inserted into her
private part by the mob .
At a point, a man successfully inserted a
torchlight into her private part, while others held
her legs apart to make the bestial act easy.
All efforts by the helpless lady, who was weeping
profusely and pleading, to cover her nakedness
with both hands, failed, as the mob tugged at
various parts of her body.
Meanwhile, several reactions have trailed the
disturbing video, with some describing it as an
act that debased humanity.
They questioned the absence of security
operatives in such an upscale shopping mall and
why the internal security did not make an effort
to hand over the suspect to the appropriate
authority.
According to most saddened by the impunity
with which the mob carried out their dastardly
act, the mob action is gradually becoming an
accepted behaviour, warning that it should be
nipped in the bud before it gets out of hand.
They also averred that anybody accused of any
crime is considered innocent except proved
otherwise by the court.
No one, they stressed, has the right to take life or
subject another fellow human being to
dehumanizing treatment.
Unanimously, they agreed that security operatives
should live up to their responsibility of securing
the lives and property of citizens.
