A lady has revealed the true story behind the killing and burning of a sound engineer in a Lekki, Lagos State yesterday. The lady using her Twitter handle Ope K. King @Opetheking, revealed it was a case of jungle justice and not the initial story which profiled the Hausa ethnic group.

The killing of the sound engineer which further heightened tension and anger in a nation already mourning the killing and burning of a student of Sokoto State College of Education over an alleged blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad.

I will just leave you to read the story yourself. My bones are too weak for long analysis and write ups on all these madness going on in Nigeria.

“Because, I’m seeing some comments about my brother-in-law being a Yahoo boy/ritualist and it’s really breaking my heart.

Yes, Uncle David was killed over N100… this is what really happened”

“The bikeman involved carried two passengers to drop near (Beer Barn) Admiralty way, Lekki Phase 1.

Uncle David was NOT one of these passengers.


These guys were some of the musicians that came to work at Beer Barn.

Bikeman was supposed to collect N400, the guys gave him N500.Bikeman said he didn’t have N100 change. The two guys didn’t have too.

So they gave the bikeman N300 assuring him that they are regulars on the street and will balance him whenever they see.”

“The men turned to leave and the bikeman grabbed one of the guy’s shirt, tearing it in the process.



The guy whose shirt the bikeman tore, turned and punched the bikeman which resulted into the bikeman fainting/knocked out of consciousness.All these while, Uncle David was inside Beer Barn. It was when people around (including the bikeman’s tribesmen) started dragging these two guys to wake up the bikeman, that was when Uncle David was called in.

My brother-in-law came to separate fight o. Prior to this, around last week, someone had slumped and died and people had suspected foul play. Saying the incident was linked to guys on a bike who could possibly be yahoo boys.So when this incident involving the bikeman occured, people automatically assumed that yahoo boys are at play again.

When Uncle David saw that there was an angry mob, and the situation had been blown out of proportion and accusations were flying, he ran and hid himself.A woman who didn’t know the origin of the whole issue, found Uncle David hiding and directed the mob to where he was, accusing him of being a ritualist.

They used stone to break his head.

They beat him. Stripped him naked and eventually set him on fire.This is what happened.

This is the truth.

Uncle David was a reputable human being.

He wasn’t dragging N100 with a bikeman. He was called in to separate the fight.

The two guys involved were beaten almost to death and are now in critical condition.”

Please let’s say No to jungle justice.

Anyone who calls my brother-in-law a ritualist again will meet with a fate 10x worse.

Don’t throw accusations without evidence. If you don’t know the whole story, don’t intervene.

No one’s life is in your hand.You have no right to slap, hit, or maim someone even if you caught them in a crime. Drag them to the police!

Why would you kill someone?!


Why should one of the kindest souls die based on sheer savagery, animalistic tendencies, and illiterate paranoia?

I am sad.His wife, kids, family, friends, colleagues…everyone is mourning and heartbroken because some people chose to be wicked and animals.

Northern men made up most of this angry mob. Now their bikeman is alive and well.So far, 15 people have been arrested including the unfortunate woman who showed the mob where my brother-in-law was hiding.

If there are anymore updates, I’ll let y’all know.”

Commenting a Twitter user @MikeMilli said: “The joke is now on us, we thought it was a hausa slaughter thing but it is our support of jungle justice. I have always stood my ground on mob action, except someone is armed he or she should be allowed to go through legal actions. If the police release them, that is not your biz”


Another Tweep @VicEmeya wrote: “This is heart broken � �. May God judge them all. Imagine a woman that’s is supposed to protect him was the one who gave him out to his killers. May David’s soul RIP”

This is the same Nigeria we fought against police brutality and called for end end of profiling of youths by policemen but here is a youth and a sound engineer hustling to provide for his family wasted by same youths.

Naija don sour...
Na to run go Ghana oh!

Say no to jungle justice!

The woman that pointed him out is wicked. She already concluded in her mind that the man is a ritualist. That's how many of us jump into conclusion without any concrete evidence. May she face the music in detention.

Chaiiiii!
Ignorance is bad.
People will just be believing anything.
Now see, an innocent person has been killed for nothing.

May we not fall victim of this other genders
(Amen)

NIGERIANS!!!
Who do us this thing ?

Afonjers good morning to you all!!

Damn it!
Another innocent life wasted like that of a fowl.
All man will pay for their sins.

Say no to jungle Justice

And we say the politicians are the only problem we have in this country? Too sad!!

RosyIsBlessed:

Some Nigerians are the main problems of Nigeria.

It's just so sad.

As e de go so na small thing go trigger the slaughter of these northerners for South…. May God help us all

Too many animals in this country. Lagos state givernment, remove these animals from our city and metropolis, take them back to the North. these okada men have no houses they live on the roads, how can we have a mega city with Almajiri beggars and aboki thugs everywhere, they are everywhere on the streets causing havoc. Raid and deport them back to where they come from. Recently I heard some Northern states are taking back beggars from their states to their states of origin.
Lagos is filled with too many micreants from North especially. We don't want abokis in our city, they are different people, they should live in their north. Fashola in same APC was taking these homeless miscreants staying in the streets back to their states, I don't know why Sanwo Olu just allows them live on the roads. You can't enter a city and be constituting nuisances, building houses on the road, stabbing and burning people at will. Sir Sanwo Olu much respect, please to avoid reprisals and violence in Lekki, stop this menace, a lot of youths in Lekki, we are not happy about this killings of innocent people in Lagos by abokis. This is Lagos, not North. In the North they oppress Christians and others with their Sharia law, even passing death sentences for blasphemy and co, these people are extremists, Lagos is an international city, a cosmopolitan, we don't need extremists here. A lot of space in the North for them to kill themselves with their barbaric ways.

These northern bikemen are a menace and it is high time they are sent back to their states. Once there is an issue, rather than try to deescalate the matter, they act like rabid dogs whose only mission in life is kill kill kill. Those filthy, bedbug carrying animals should be dragged into trucks and hurled back to their deserts from whence they came.

Or Canada

Nigeria can't continue like this.

Nigeria is just messed up.
Do normal justice, the criminal gets freed
Do jungle justice, sometimes innocent person die.
God protect us.

I miss Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN

This story is shit.
If the brother in law and the guys were actually working around that region and were regulars as they claimed, they wouldn't be lynched because two or three persons must have known them around the area.
The mob that beat them were definitely from the vicinity and definitely one or two of them must have recognised them.
Were they the only persons in the place they were making music? Why didn't other people come out to attest to the fact that they were musicians or whatever.

I am surprised people are buying this claim.
Not justifying any form of jungle justice whatsoever.but I think the claim is porous.

Everyone should be praying against spirit of premature death

Nigeria is cursed

This one is strange

I remember back in the days when police dey pursue every young men for street, there's this day people were running from these so called police, na so meself pick race, I ran into a street and a just walking by man held me by my jeans, telling the police to come and pick me up, not knowing me from anywhere, just imagine if I was an armed robber and I choose to do anything to escape from such scene? No be to shoot am throway? Some people just like to do rubbish for this life, I remember after my pman came to the police station and I got out, we traced this man and my pman raises hell with him, I mean, how could I be the only one you choose to hold for these men in black

These abokis will kill you cos of their own kinsman, they don't care if they know you, and bike men dominate some areas. What is fake about the story, you didn't see the body getting burnt?

So they killed him cos they thought he was a ritualist Yahoo boy..
Even though I wish all ritualist Yahoo boys will be burnt to death but that will be against the law and innocent people can be accused and killed..Say No to Jungle justice..

You just reminded me of a similar scene where policemen came to an area to arrest a man who was causing trouble in that vicinity...pple gathered to watch and that was how this man shouted ‘and this one too,Abeg carry am’...he told one of the policemen to also take his son(wayward boy) who was watching the scene too...the boy was caught unaware,pple around burst into laughter. The boy was taken in to custody.
