MOB JUSTICE.
Mob justice: Teenager is brutally beaten and paraded naked with three chickens around his neck after stealing the birds in Nigeria
A light-fingered teenager has found himself beaten and stripped naked after he was caught stealing chickens.
Rather than call the police, locals in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria, dished out their own brand of instant 'justice'.
After he was seized by the chickens' owner, the suspect was beaten senseless.
Disturbing images of the boy show him with a swollen and bloodied left eye.
A crowd gathered to watch the suspected thief paraded around by the chickens' owner and local leaders.

Then he was forced to parade with three chickens tied around his neck.
Locals laughed and jeered at the teen as he was marched around the market by the chickens' owner and local leaders to punish him.
Public justice is a common form of punishment in Nigeria where locals can be suspicious of police or official involvement.
Officials are often seen as corrupt and easily bribed and ordinary people prefer street level self-administered justice.
The man's name was not revealed and it is unclear if he was handed over to the police after the mob had finished with him.
