SHAME: Mob Lynches 3 Nigerians For Kidnapping In Guinea

It appears some bad Nigerians are taking their act of kidnapping to other countries. Three Nigerians accused of kidnapping a child were lynched on Tuesday by an angry mob of young rioters in Bissau. AFP reported that the trio was killed after the disappearance of a young boy on Tuesday morning in the capital of Guinea-Bissau.
Death to Nigerians! Enough is enough, stop! The Nigerians must leave,” chanted the crowd.
A rumour quickly spread across the city that the child had been taken by a group of Nigerians, prompting an angry crowd to gather which security forces were unable to control.
An AFP journalist confirmed that he saw two of the Nigerian bodies in the morgue.

Hundreds of angry rioters, young and armed with stones and bottles, managed to grab one of the suspected kidnappers from a police car as officers stood by powerless, according to the AFP journalist.

Police fired warning shots and tear gas in an effort to disperse the mob, but they were unsuccessful.

The police called for reinforcements and soldiers from Economic Community of West African States currently in the country were deployed in the town and managed to restore some sense of calm in the afternoon.

The Nigerian embassy in Bissau, where many Nigerians sought refuge, was surrounded by security forces for protection. Many shop-owners in the city closed because of the violence.

The latest abduction came at a tense time in Bissau, as in the past fortnight several incidents of kidnappings and other crimes have been reported to the police.

In other to prevent any Nigerian from taking a child out of the country illegally, the authorities have enforced a travel ban on unaccompanied children and any adults travelling with infants who they cannot prove are relations are immediately arrested.
