Electric Cable Theft Leads to Mob Violence
On Saturday, March 15, 2025, in Agirgba community, Vandiekya Local Government Area of Benue State, a man was reportedly apprehended by local youths for allegedly stealing electric cables. The suspect was subsequently set ablaze by the irate youths, resulting in his death.
This incident highlights the persistent issue of jungle justice in the region, where individuals take the law into their own hands rather than involving law enforcement authorities.
Local law enforcement agencies have consistently condemned such acts of extrajudicial punishment, emphasizing the importance of due process and the rule of law.
Citizens are urged to report suspected criminal activities to the appropriate authorities to ensure that justice is served through legal and humane means.
