According to online reports, the man pictured herein was caught at
about 5 am at Aka Itiam, some say Ibiam Street in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State
while trying to steal a flat screen TV from a football viewing centre.
His hand was chopped off by a mob.
This is bestial and hypocritical. The police should have been invited into the matter.
Those who chopped off this man's hand should be traced, arrested
and prosecuted for inflicting grievous bodily harm. The perpetrators are
criminals. They are worse than the man. We cannot continue with this
type of insanity.more photo after the cut.
Jungle justice evinces our institutional, social and moral
backwardness. This is a manifestation of a stone age mentality. This man
did not kill anyone, he did not rape anyone.
Stealing is not a capital offence
What I find particularly repulsive is the fact that those who
inflicted this permanent injury on this man and those applauding the
carnage are the very people defending, canonising and worshipping
corrupt politicians who are ruining their lives and looting the
resources of their state.
I therefore call on the Akwa Ibom State Police Command to
immediately arrest and prosecute those found culpable to serve as a
deterrent to other misguided members of the public who are always quick
to visit mob justice on those who commit petty crimes while praising the
big thieves.
