In a dramatic turn of events, an enraged mob in Abuja has taken matters into their own hands, lynching two suspected ‘one-chance’ robbers who allegedly attacked and robbed a woman before throwing her out of their moving vehicle.
The shocking incident was reported by Nigerian Stories via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, sending waves of reactions across social media. According to eyewitness accounts, the suspects were part of a notorious criminal gang specializing in preying on unsuspecting passengers by disguising as commercial transport operators.
Their latest victim, a woman whose identity remains undisclosed, was reportedly robbed of her valuables before being forcefully ejected from the moving vehicle. Passersby who witnessed the harrowing ordeal immediately raised an alarm, attracting a mob that gave the fleeing suspects a hot pursuit.
Within moments, the two alleged criminals were cornered and subjected to instant jungle justice before security operatives could intervene. By the time law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, the men had already succumbed to the wrath of the mob.
The gruesome act has sparked mixed reactions, with some Nigerians expressing frustration over the rising cases of ‘one-chance’ robbery in Abuja and other urban centers, while others condemned mob justice, urging the authorities to strengthen law enforcement and judicial processes.
As investigations unfold, the incident serves as yet another grim reminder of the growing insecurity in Nigeria’s capital and the desperate measures civilians are resorting to in their quest for justice.
