three once men caught inside a cab

This happened on Saturday at Mabuchi for those of you who are familiar with Abuja. The taxi was moving along and someone inside"the victim" seemed to be in apprehension and panic. Passers-by noticed and gave the taxi a hot chase till it stopped. The victim explained his ordeal that when he entered the taxi, the men inside demanded for his phone and the bag he was carrying.

The suspects refused to come out of the vehicle so the angry mob broke the windshield.

The kidnappers were later dragged out of the vehicle and were seriously beaten to pulp. One of them died in the course of the attack. Then an SSS Agent came and decided to handle the matter by taking the suspects into custody. He handcuffed the two that were alive but while he was calling for backup, the unthinkable happened, some sections of the crowd liaised with themselves and suddenly rushed forward, pushing the suspects from the fly-over bridge in other to finish them off like their dead colleague.  You can see the height of the bridge  But to the surprise of everyone, these men did not die after falling with a mighty thud on the ground.  They only sustained various degrees of injuries The mob were not finshed with them just yet. They started hitting them with sticks and throwing stones on them but still, these men were just still breathing   Really it was a horrible sight to behold.   I felt i had taken enough pictures and decided to leave the scene. The fate of these men and what happened to them later is currently unknown to me. A cross section of on-lookers at the scene of the incident
