Man caught carrying two infants with their placentas in sack in Lagos (Graphic videos)

A trending video has shown the moment a man was apprehended with a sack containing two infants with their placentas.

The person who uploaded the video indicated that the incident happened in Surulere, Lagos, but gave no further details.

The clip shows the man has been stripped naked and badly beaten, with blood streaming down his face. The mob can be heard asking him to show the babies who appeared to be dead and then telling him to put the babies back in the sack.

A policeman can also be seen in the clip shepherding the suspect away.

The mob wanted to lynch the man, as they accused him of being a ritualist. The suspect cannot talk, perhaps as a result of the severe beating he has received.

Comments online justified the beating. Some other people however condemned the jungle judgement, arguing that his wife might just have had stillbirths and he was taking the dead babies for burial.
