Oh come on man, what's with the sensationalism?
I am not condoning crime but innocent people have suffered before from misidentification such as Hope FM radio presenter from Coast (nimesahau jina lake). Sababu pia I can turn it around and ask what if siku moja ukiwa malap juu ya cheki maneno alafu crowd ikugeuzie?
We have akina @Pamba 1 to handle such cases

I agree with you. Remember this one last month.....

Two men who were cornered and beaten up by an irate mob in Zimmerman, Nairobi on Saturday afternoon were not kidnappers as had been suspected by the residents, police have told The Standard.
The two men, who were driving in a Nissan Juke past Base Estate in Zimmerman, were cornered after word got round that a 2-year-old girl had been kidnapped in the estate.
Upon opening the doors of the men’s car, they saw the said-lost child.
The girl’s mother, who had been attracted to the scene by the resultant melee, quickly defended the two against the allegations, saying she personally knew the men, and had given them the permission to go with the child.

Police arrived at the scene and rescued the duo before rushing them to hospital for urgent treatment.
The two had sustained severe injuries in different parts of their bodies, including the head.
Their vehicle was vandalized, and turned upside-down by the irate mob.

Kasarani OCPD Peter Mwanzo told The Standard the attacks stemmed from a case of mistaken identity.
“It’s wrong for members of the public to take the law into their own hands. For instance, in today’s case, they attacked the two based on mere suspicion, which was not founded on any concrete evidence. It would have been so unfortunate had they killed the two,” said Mwanzo.
“I’m urging Kenyans to let police do their work of enforcing law and order.”

The name ‘Zimmerman’ trended on Twitter on Saturday afternoon, with users lamenting that cases of child abduction have been on the rise in the estate.
Mwanzo, however, said only one kidnapping case has been reported, and that claims that at least ten children have gone missing from the estate in the last couple of months are exaggerated.
“I am urging Kasarani residents whose children have gone missing to report the cases soonest possible,” he said.
The wreckage of the Nissan Juke was towed to Kasarani Police Station.




It was then that the crowd descended on the duo with kicks, blows and all manner of crude weapons, while accusing the two of abducting the girl.

Manze you get to realize how horrific an irate mob can be. Besides the new KDA-registered vehicle getting totally destroyed...it was a matter of minutes before those two innocent men could've been brutally burnt.

Absolutely.

Mob justice is indicative of a Society that has no trust and confidence in its Judicial and Security apparatus.
It is also a symptom of an ignorant and often times illiterate society.

It operates on the same level as witch-hunting whereby savage and barbaric people condemn someone to death without any solid or.verifiable evidence of wrongdoing.

The irony of mob justice is that it perpetuate the very injustice it sets out to curb.

It should be borne in mind also that executions through mob justice robs police vital information on criminal networks and intelligence as criminals rarely operate on their own.

But the greatest injustice perpetrated by mob justice is to the kith and kin of victims who live the rest of their lives with the pain of their loved ones denied the chance to explain themselves as the law of natural justice demands.

Well written madam. On matters of law, policing and security you have very good instincts.
I just have an issue with one sentence. 'It is also a symptom of an ignorant and often times illiterate society'.

If you look at the mob justice enforcers of today, most of them are in the matatu, nduthi and mjengo sectors.
They are under employed youth with education and skills. Certainly not ignorant.

Much respect mami.
