An alleged thief was beaten up by an angry mob before he was burnt to death.

The boy was set upon after being accused of repeatedly robbing local residents and businesses, and even threatening to kill people, according to reports.

The incident took place in the Badagry district of the city of Lagos in the south-western Nigerian Lagos State.



The shocking footage shows the boy holding his hands up as the mob surrounds him as he sits on the ground with his legs tied together.

He is beaten over and over again as he begs for his life, and a man can be seen trying to place a tyre around his neck to necklace him.

Necklacing is when a tyre full of flammable liquid is placed around someone’s neck and the fluid is then set alight, causing them to burn to death.

The boy, however, appears to manage to throw the tyre off but he was still set alight died despite the fact that some residents called for him to be handed over to police, according to reports.
