Four University Students Beaten And Burned To Death By Mob In Nigeria After Being Accused Of Stealing Laptops (VIDEO)

One of the most violent acts of savagery in the world is when a lynch mob is involved.

Seeing huge crowds cheer and participate in the torture and killing of someone accused of something is never easy to watch.

While some of the lynchings are courtesy of a useless police force in which the locals feel their brand of justice is the only brand, others seem to be the result of a lesson being taught going way too far.

The disturbing video you will watch shortly comes from a village in Nigeria where the locals had grown tired of violent robbers coming in and taking what they wanted and killing people when unsatisfied with their loot.

Four students from the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) identified as Lloyd, Tekena, Ugonna and Chidiaka, were beaten and later set ablaze by the mob suspected to be members of the Aluu community.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ben Ugwuegbulam, confirmed the incident and added that investigation into the murder of the students was ongoing.

“Nobody has the right to kill a fellow human being. We expected that the suspects should have been handed over to the police and not the jungle justice that was meted out to them (suspects),” he said.

Onyema Biringa is father of one of the boys killed, Chiadikobi. Having a job as top Senior Manager at the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,, his son most likely could've gotten any electronic gadget he wanted.

It's facts like that in which only bring more questions as to whether these victims had anything to do with thefts at all.

Reacting to the incident, the UNIPORT’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. William Wodi, told the Sunday Punch that he had yet to confirm if those killed by a mob were students of the institution.

Wodi explained that the incident took place in Aluu community, adding that the university had no jurisdiction over the area where the four persons were murdered.

In a related development, a member of the National Youths Service Corps serving in Kwara State and two other men (names withheld by the police) have been arrested for their alleged involvement in armed robbery.

An eyewitness told Elombah that the students were no phone or laptop thieves, as claimed in earlier reports, they in fact confessed to some of the killings and previous robbery incidences (although this could be as a result of excess torture)

While it would be great for all the facts of the case to get ironed out, it won't bring any of the victims back if indeed they truly had nothing to do with any robberies or killings in the area.
