VIDEO: ANOTHER BARBARIC KILLING IN LAGOS. WHY DO WE DO THIS? :(

On sunday 21st July 2013, Ifechukwude Nwainokpor Gabriel and his friend Kazeem where brutally lynched to death by a mob of miscreants at badagry on the ground that their faces look strange in the neighborhood where he lived most of his 25 years sojourn on earth.

Policemen attached to the Badagry Police Division, Lagos State, and some hoodlums have been accused of killing a 25-year-old undergraduate of Delta State University, Ifechukwude Nwainokpor, and his friend, identified simply as Kazeem.

An irate mob could be seen in the video, shouting, "die, die, burn them, burn them." A closer look at the video shows that the victims were cuffed together which implies to a great extent that the Nigerian Police might have arrived the scene early enough and supported the mob action. 

At some points in the video, a policeman was seen interviewing the boys. He asked who sent them (victims) to rob the area, an accusation they denied. One of the hoodlums, holding a sharp object attempted to cut off the private part of one of the victims.

Nwainokpor could be seen pleading with the hoodlums and policemen to spare his life, saying he could identify himself if given a chance. His plea, however, fell on deaf ears.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, said, "The incident is quite pathetic. Even if they were armed robbers, no one has the right to take the life of another. Why then do we have the police and the judiciary? The Nigerian police as well as the law condemn mob action and jungle justice. The commissioner of police has set up a high- powered investigation body to investigate the matter."

We are crying out to the whole world for justice.
