According to the fellow who shared these photos on his timeline, the young man above was alleged to have stolen, but was caught by concerned citizens at Alapere area of Lagos today.
He was thoroughly beaten and thereafter stripped naked and forced to walk stark naked on the streets with his loot.
See photos after the cut
When I was very young this mode of treatment was the norm to deter other potential thieves. The first one i witnessed was a badly beaten lady thief stripped naked and bunches of cassette tapes (the stolen items) was hung on her neck while a huge crowd followed her around in the neighbourhood.
