A heartbreaking scene unfolded in Gwagwalada, Abuja, when a woman was brutally assaulted by an angry mob after she was accused of attempting to kidnap a 2-year-old child.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened near a busy market area on Friday afternoon. The woman was reportedly seen holding a child and trying to walk away when the child’s mother raised an alarm, suspecting an attempted abduction. Within minutes, a crowd gathered, and chaos broke out.
In the heat of anger, some individuals began to beat the woman without confirming the full story. She was left injured and crying for help before security operatives intervened and took her away for safety and investigation.
Many who witnessed the event expressed mixed feelings. While some believed the woman was guilty, others called for caution, reminding the public that not every accusation should end in jungle justice.
This incident serves as a painful reminder of the growing fear of child theft in Nigeria — and the danger of taking the law into our own hands. Innocent lives can be lost when mob justice replaces due process.
Let’s remember: every human deserves a fair hearing. Instead of violence, report suspicious activities to the nearest police station. Humanity demands compassion, even in the face of fear.
