The shepherd of the crowd, a naked woman by alleged deal in the Edo community

A crowd in the community of Iguomon, located on the outskirts of Benin City, in the state of Edo, on Monday, stripped a man who believes herself was a shepherd and a naked married woman for accusations of infidelity.

In a video that has since become viral on social media, the angry young people have been seen dragging the duo by a private residence, accusing them of engaging in an illegal relationship.

The man, who is said to be a shepherd whose identity remains unknown at the time of the press, was completely stripped and forced to sit on the naked floor.

The eyewitnesses referred to the platform Times that the woman, also not identified, had been involved in a secret relationship with the shepherd for some time before being captured in the act.

“We condemn the jungle justice in its entirety,” said Edokpayi in a note. “What happened in Iguomon cannot be justified.

The right thing would have been to report the question to the police for investigations due and legitimate actions. “

He warned that the justice of the crowd often leads to non -intentional victims and undermines the rule of law.
