He said the residents were ready to beat the thief to stupor until an officer of the law advised them to let the thief go because he does not look normal.

It is good to see that some Nigerians are willing to put a stop to jungle justice rather than take the laws into their hands.

However, some Nigerians are not opened to the idea of reporting thieves to the law enforcement agencies. NAIJ.com reported a story a few days ago about a newspaper thief that was beaten to stupor.
