Photos: Mob on Allen Avenue Lagos about to Burn a Car Thief They Caught in the Act

I just got this SOS from a reader who witnessed the incident and says it's happening right now:

Hello Laila, this is happening right now at Adeleke street, off Allen avenue in Ikeja. A thief was caught on the street this afternoon. He broke into a parked Toyota Highlander with his accomplice. They took a phone and while they were trying to make away with it...they were caught. His accomplice immediately ran away but the angry crowd are about to burn the unfortunate one they caught...I left when I noticed they might actually burn this guy. Please post this immediately.

I'm hoping someone steps up in that crowd, the right authorities get to the scene and do something before this man is burnt alive. More pics below.
