An angry mob set ablaze a woman accused in a failed child kidnapping attempt in Agbarho community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.


The incident happened on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

An eyewitness, who spoke to Vanguard at the scene of the incident on Ekwvere Road claimed that the woman hid the seven year old boy she allegedly abducted in a sack, adding that she was even carrying a Bible on one hand.

Community sources said some residents in the area accosted the lady when they observed the way she was dragging the sack, to know what she had in it.

Taking matters in their own hands,why not wait for the authorities to handle the matter and take her through court so she can be charged

Yeah what she did was totally wrong but they gave her jungle Justice.

That's not good. People must have reported the case of kidnapping to the police instead of punishing that lady themselves.

She met her karma. Can't she feel the sadness and pain of the boy's parents and siblings? Citizens this time participate in solving a crime, and their solutions are brutal, like setting the criminal ablaze. What a good one.

Yes, jungle Justice is bad but sometimes these people are just annoying. You kidnapped another person child to sell without even empathy

 

[Min George]

I don't totally support or recommend jungle justice. But what can people do in a situation like this when they know the authorities might not give the commensurate dose of justice.

 

[eLdavis]

Though what the woman did is wrong but at the same time, their actions is also wrong. They need to put an end to jungle justice.

The same happens in my country. I wonder why the public like doing the same while it against the law of the land.
