According to reports, the boy was seen by eyewitnesses trying to break into a shop where food are sold in the early hours of Tuesday November 15, 2016.

The little boy was nabbed by some men in the area, beaten and set ablaze by the wicked mob despite pleas from the public since he did not actually commit the crime.

Amidst the economic recession in Nigeria, it’s saddening that people are beginning to loose their sanity to stand the site of a 7 year-old boy set ablaze because he was hungry and attempted to steal food.

Let’s believe the government of Lagos state intervenes promptly to the situation and arrest the men behind the barbaric act. The lives of children should be protected no matter the gravity of crime they commit.
