Photo: Two Young Robbers Stoned To Death In Lagos

Two robbers on Saturday at Sabo, Yaba have been stoned to death by residents of the community after they were caught stealing. The two young men were said to have robbed a 79-year old man and his female guest before they were apprehended. According to the man, his female guest was in the sitting room where she slept before the robbers woke her up, slapped her and collected her phone. They also asked him to give them all the money he had, but he told them he had only N30 which he kept in his bible. Some youths who were returning from a carnival at around 4pm heard the voice of the old man screaming for help, before they surrounded the whole house and apprehended the thieves. They were stripped naked before they were beaten to comma and later stoned severally.

On why they had to stone them to death, some residents claim they only stripped them naked and stoning them to death was the handwork of passers-by, who saw them in the morning where they were dumped. As people passed by, and asked what their offence was, they got angry each time and stoned them. It was their stones that killed them, not ours they said.
