A suspected thief named Austin Obi who has been terrorizing a secluded community in Ikeja, Lagos, was caught yesterday morning in Ikeja (Seriki Aro) and was beaten to bloody pulp by an angry mob before police intervened.
According to an eyewitness,it was made known that the thief usually came to Ikeja to steal every night. He was however unlucky this morning when residents of the area caught him and nearly lynched him to death.
Three laptops were recovered from him. While being interrogated by the mob about his colleagues, he reportedly mentioned names of popular police men in Ikeja before police men came and took him away.
