4 young thieves nabbed in Port Harcourt

Four young men who thought they could make a living in these hard times by resorting to stealing, found out the hard way that it does not pay when they were caught by a mob in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.

According to an eyewitness, Emmytex Kpako Emeka, the boys snatched a man's wallet containing $100 at the Mile 4 area of the city and were nabbed by a vigilante group where they had gone to change the dollars at the Presidential Hotel area, after the man had reported the theft.

Trust Nigerians, the criminals were stripped and given the beating of their lives before they were rescued by the police who whisked them away to forestall any attempt to lynch them by the crowd.
