See how a 7yrs old boy was murder in cool blood

A video which went virile on social media showed
some group of people beating, stoning and finally
setting a boy between the age 7-16 ablaze, for
allegedly stealing garri.
This is even as some accounts circulating on
social media said the young boy allegedly stone a
phone and stabbed the victim.
Vanguard however, could not verify the
authenticity of these claims at press time.
In a statement by Usman Abubakar, the Acting
National Publicity Secretary, Wailing Wailers, the
group said: “We want to call the attention of the
Governor of Lagos State Governor, His Excellency
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, to the cruelty
meted against one young man reported to be
between the age of 7-16 years old accused of
stealing Garri in Badagry area of Lagos State.
“The boy was killed by mob action as seen in the
video circulating on social media, a copy posted
and pinned to our official Twitter Handle
@NGRWailers.
“We as a group, concerned with democracy and
civic rights of Nigerian citizens totally condemn
the sadistic and barbaric act of the killers in
strong terms.
“We call on Mr. Governor as the Chief Security
officer of the state and all the state security
agencies to wade into actions immediately and
bring the perpetrators to book, the gory videos
and pictures circulating on the internet can be
leads to the arrest of killers of the young man.
“We don’t encourage any citizen to engage in any
theft, criminality or stealing of any form but even
if the boy stole more than Garri as alleged online
by some section of sympathizers, that does not
warrant that the people should take laws into
their own hands, at best, he could have been
handed over to the nearest police station for
investigation and be dealt with in accordance with
the law of the land.
“The matter have become a subject of national
discourse and the good people of Nigeria wants
to know how the state governor will handle the
case to ensure that the family of the young man
gets a fair justice for the deceased.
“The worrisome and sad part as shown in the clip
was that matured Nigerians, male and female
who are likely to be residence of the area
gathered and watched how the boy was subjected
to a horrible pain before his death.
“Some of them were even encouraging the killer
on how he should kill the boy, this does not
speak well of the oneness, peace, tolerance and
love our forefathers fought very hard to achieve
under a democratic setting in Nigeria.
“There were many other cases of jungle justice
which have been swept under the carpet; the
#ALUU4 saga is still fresh in our memory where
four young University undergraduates were killed
and sent to early grave in cold blood by Aluu
community in Rivers State on the allegation of
cultism and robbery which has not been proven
nor substantiated till date.
“Nigeria is not a lawless country where citizens
can take laws into their own hands, unfortunately,
Nigerian government and security who are the
law enforcers have not laid a good example with
the recent killings of Indigenous People of Biafra
agitators and members of Islamic Movements of
Nigeria (Shiites).
“The mindless killing of the young man and fellow
citizen should be thoroughly investigated and his
killers be brought to book to serve as deterrent to
others who may likely engage in such heinous
acts.”
