A Twitter user recounts how a man who had recently lost his mother was brutalized by strangers after he accidentally crashed his car into a woman.
The story was shared by @Letter_to_Jack via the microblogging platform. He said that the man proceeded to the neighborhood to pick up his wife and daughter, but his brakes failed and he collided with a woman in her business, according to Jack.
Despite his popularity in the region, people in the immediate vicinity did not hesitate to attack him.
He described the situation as follows:
“A young man lost his mother last Friday. On Monday, he went to his neighborhood to get his wife and daughter.
He drove up a slope and on his way down, his brake failed, the car then ran into a woman in her shop.
Angry mob arrived and they beat him so badly that he lost an eye.
This guy and his late mom grew up in the neighborhood, he is well known, but that didn’t stop the people at Sabo’s Jungle Justice because someone said the woman had died.
They broke his car windshield, dragged his wife on the floor and threatened to kill him.
They didn’t care for the woman who was injured, they left her on the floor right there as the others attacked the driver. They hit him countless times in the head and on the left eye with planks that blood began to gush out of the eye.
If not for timely police intervention, he would have been extrajudicially killed at the spot. They got him and his wife to safety, but he was detained, even as he was in a very bad condition.
His daughter (2-4years old) was right there as the mob descended on her parents.
As soon as I got the call, I went to the police station to see the guy and from there to the hospital to check the woman’s condition.
The doctor told me the woman is alive and stable, she suffered a deep wound but there was no fracture.
I have more to say on this, but I wont add more until after my meeting with the community leaders this morning.”
