I was busy minding my business today at about 1.00 pm when I saw a crowd of people on a busy Lagos street holding down an alleged thief and giving him the beating of his life. I moved near to see what was really happening, but behold, this was no ordinary thief.
The young man crouched on the floor holding tightly to a life snake. He was alleged to have collaborated with a pickpocket in robbing a man of his money, using the snake as a distraction. As usual the crowd was baying for his blood, but a few men among the mob prevented them.
Well, I managed to sneak some pictures just as the police arrived. The snake was killed by the mob, after which the police took the man away. Click below for more photos:
