Thief Caught At Shoprite In Lagos, Rescued From Being Lynched By Mob [Photos]

A suspected thief who was caught stealing at a popular Shoprite Mall in Lagos would have met his end at the hands of angry mobs if not for the policemen that came to his rescue.

It was gathered that the man was caught red-handed while stealing at the popular Shoprite Mall in Apapa area of the state.

After being caught, he was about to be lynched and descended upon by angry mobs but was rescued by the state’s policemen in that area.

Though, the presence of the policemen did not prevent the crowd from beating and hitting the suspect whose clothes was already in the process of being removed for jungle justice.
