So painful how a 7-year-old boy was burnt to death for stealing common garri in Nigeria

Boy 7 burnt alive for stealing garri in Nigeria

Nigeria is seem to be only country where politicians and public office holders will steal billions and sometimes trillions and walk free on the street, after using the stolen wealth to bribe their way through legal process. But the hungry poor masses are always met with either instant jungle justice or jail sentence from magistrates and judges, after setting free high class public fund looters.

One wonders why a seven-year-old boy would be gruesomely burnt to alive for allegedly stealing common garri (locally processed) cassava, which virtually anybody could afford in Nigeria, no matter how difficult the economic climate might be. If not for anything, at least for the sake of God and considering the boy’s age, they would have asked him what pushed him into such act and see how the little boy could be rehabilitated.

The boy’s murder is now making the rounds on several social media showing how he was being beaten mercilessly and set ablaze.

While he was being killed no body rescued him, but now people are saying the government should investigate the incident, which no matter what they do, cannot never bring the poor boy back to life.
