A viral video showing the brutal assault of a middle-aged man over the alleged theft of N2 million has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many condemning the persistent recourse to jungle justice in the country.
The victim, identified simply as Agara, was captured in the footage seen by SaharaReporters on Friday with a severely swollen face and visible injuries after being beaten to a stupor by a mob.
In the video, a man suspected to be a security operative is seen hitting the helpless victim under handcuffs with a machete, while a woman, believed to be the accuser, repeatedly demands, "Tell us where you kept the money."
Despite the severe beating, Agara vehemently denied the accusations, challenging his tormentors to provide concrete proof of his involvement.
