"Four University of Port Harcourt students, Chiadika Biringa, Ugonna Obuzor, Lloyd Toku, and Tekena Elkanah left campus for the village of Aluu. According to Biringa's mother Chinwe, Obuzor was owed some money and he asked his three classmates to accompany him to the village to collect on the debt. Within minutes of their arrival, a rumor spread that the students were not there to collect but to steal. An enraged mob stripped them naked while beating them with sticks and rocks then wrapped care tires around their necks -- a form of torture known as "necklacing." As the four men sat on the muddy ground dazed and pleading for their lives, someone doused them with gasoline, lit a match and set them on fire." When this happened it wasn't really investigated as deeply as it was once the video of the killing was posted on the web for the world to see.
According to this article a young man was murdered over a big misunderstanding. He was as innocent as the guys that were with him on that day. there were four guys her were tortured on that day and one was able to get away who was also interview on CNN. That particular guy in the interview said he thought to himself why don't they go ahead and kill him. However, he managed to get away. The mother of this young man that was killed was very hurt. She made it known that the guys who killed her son also killed a piece of her. The crime here in this article is obvious, murder. The fact that the guys harmed were innocent was immoral. Apparently the police officers in Nigeria aren't doing their job, and hasn't been doing their jobs correctly for a while now. This killing has not been the first type of mobbing that has taking place in Nigeria.
