Jungle justice:Two Boys allegedly Burnt Alive after Being Accused of Stealing

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The rate at which People take laws into their hands is becoming alarming.

A number of prominent personalities have expressed outrage after two boys were allegedly burnt alive for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.

Anja Ringgren Loven – a philanthropist who has rescued numerous children branded witches and abandoned in Akwa Ibom State – and Femi Fani-Kayode joined to express outrage after photos of the boys stripped naked with a tyre placed on them went viral. Another photo shows fire blazing, allegedly burning the boys’ bodies.

According to reports, the boys were caught trying to escape after stealing a woman’s phone at Komarock Estate, Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday, August 8. They were allegedly nabbed by bike riders who then beat and stripped them before burning them alive, using parts from a motorcycle to feed the fire.

“They removed part of the motorcycle, bought petrol and used it to end the lives of the two young boys,” a shop keeper in the area said.

Buruburu police boss Adamson Bungei condemned the mob attack while also advising youths to desist from crime.

“It is time the youth stop involving in crime since the fruits are so bitter. But members of the public should also not take action into their own hands,” he said.

Condemning the barbaric attack after it went viral, Femi Fani-Kayode wrote: “How can a nation, a continent and a people that indulge in this type of wickedness ever escape God’s wrath? You burn two children alive simply because they stole a mobile phone? God have mercy on you and all those that support and encourage this savagery and barbarity. Jungle justice is NO justice: it is madness!”
Anja Loven threatened to “hunt down” the perpetrators as she mourned the boys who she says are around the same age as her son.
Anja, who lives in Nigeria, did not state how she intends to hunt down the killers in Nairobi.

How can a nation, a continent and a people that indulge in this type of wickedness ever escape God's wrath? You burn two children alive simply because they stole a mobile phone? God have mercy on you and all those that support and encourage this savagery and barbarity. Jungle justice is NO justice: it is madness! READ THIS…. I WEEP FOR AFRICA "Without supporting any form of crime,this is so very wrong when we have the real thieves roaming freely on the street and throwing affluence with our stolen wealth into our faces yet,you can't do nothing rather,you wine and dine with some of them once they can grease your palms with mints. Two young boys were on Saturday afternoon burnt alive in Komarock Estate after they were caught stealing mobile phones from a member of the public. Area residents said the two boys was nabbed by angry boda boda riders who caught up with them just minutes after they stole a phone from a woman. Peter Kimani, a shopkeeper and an area resident, said that cases of mobile phone thefts have been on the rise in the estate. “The boys had just stolen the phone from a lady and were running away when they were nabbed, beaten and then set ablaze alive,” he said. Another area resident, Mr Alan Kariuki said that the charged crowd even took some parts of a motorbike and used them to light the fire that ended the lives of the two boys. “They removed part of the motorcycle, bought petrol and used it to end the lives of the two young boys,” he said. Buruburu police boss Adamson Bungei asked the youth not to involve themselves in crime but also condemned incidents of mob justice. “It is time the youth stop involving in crime since the fruits are so bitter. But members of the public should also not take action into their own hands,” he said. Can we say no to jungle justice please, do you support this action? I repeat without making excuses for their ugly actions, could be for hunger,medical or what have you". (Copied from Yetunde Morenikeji Ajani Raji)
