A mob in Sapele, Delta State brutally attacked a wheelbarrow pusher, Abubakar Yusuf, after a woman falsely accused him of stealing ₦400,000. The mob beat Yusuf, cut off his finger and nails, and attempted to set him on fire by pouring fuel on him.
The attack was halted when a relative of the woman confessed that she had stolen and hidden the money.
Delta State Police have yet to comment on the incident. Human rights activist Israel Joe has urged the police to arrest the woman for her false accusation and ensure justice for Yusuf.
