Chaos erupted at Polly Junction in Enugu State after a woman was accused of attempting to abduct a baby, triggering a violent response from members of the public. The alleged incident, captured on video, has gone viral on social media, igniting heated debates over rising crime and the dangers of mob justice.
According to eyewitness accounts circulating online, the woman was suspected of trying to steal a baby in the bustling area when she was confronted by bystanders. Tensions escalated rapidly, and a mob soon formed, dragging the woman into the street.
In the videos, which have been widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter), the accused woman is seen visibly distressed as she tries to speak, her face clearly captured. A second clip shows her being beaten by the crowd, with injuries clearly visible on her body as she screams for help.
The violent scenes have prompted mixed reactions online. While some expressed outrage at the woman’s alleged actions, many others condemned the crowd for resorting to mob justice instead of allowing law enforcement to handle the matter.
Public concern continues to grow as cases of attempted kidnappings spark panic across Nigerian communities, especially when crowds take matters into their own hands before proper investigations can occur.
Police have not yet issued an official statement about the incident, but calls have intensified for authorities to clamp down on both child abduction attempts and the rising trend of jungle justice.
Meanwhile, residents and online users alike are urging greater vigilance, legal accountability, and a stronger public response to avoid further violence or wrongful accusations.
