NIGERIA Man was caught on a security camera inside a pharmacy stealing the car keys of a customer. He nearly managed to drive away in the car, but the store’s quick-acting security stopped him in time. Before the police arrived, local residents took justice into their own hands and beat him up.
Even though the police were called to the scene in this case, local residents still felt the need to carry out their own form of justice. The phenomenon of street justice is deeply rooted in Nigerian society and remains one of the main challenges for the country’s government.
