A 70-year-old woman, Bisi Egberegbe, was nearly lynched on Saturday for allegedly stealing a 2-year-old boy in the Yaba area of Lagos.
According to PressExpress, The mob alleged that the suspect belonged to a gang of ritualists who were desperately looking for money for the yuletide celebrations but was rescued by a group which handed her over to the police.
It was gathered that the suspect allegedly abducted the child, Useni Abdullahi, from where he was playing by the side of his mother’s shop in the Yaba area, but that luck ran against her when some neighbours who saw her going away with the child raised alarm.
