Two innocent men have been burned alive by a massive lynch mob after WhatsApp rumours branded them child abductors.
A large crowd gathered outside the police station after rumours spread about the two men.
A mob dragged two men out of a police station, savagely beat them and then set them on fire, killing them, after a false rumour was spread on WhatsApp about the pair being child kidnappers.
The mother of one of the men made a desperate plea for the crowd to stop as she watched the lynching unfold on a Facebook livestream.

If they had protection INSIDE, the results would've been far better. This is a dispute that will always exist, I suspect, but if they had some kind of a protection inside the police station, maybe it could've been a very much different situation. They didn't, and the mob was able to do things that unfortunately they shouldn't have been able to do.
Folks, this is why we have to be very careful about the Dems. The Democrat Party has become an angry, ruthless, unhinged mob determined to get power "by any means necessary." To quote Martin Luther King (RIP!!).
Tremendous loss for them last week. Because of me. We got so many crooked Dems out of their luxurious offices in Washington. And all around our great Country. Very proud of what the American people did in that incredible Midterm Election. It was an Election of Kavanaugh, the Caravan, Law and Order and Common Sense. Those that worked with me, embracing certain policies and principles, did very well. Those that did not, say goodbye! Such a very Big Win, and all under the pressure of a Nasty and Hostile Media!
I'm bringing Common Sense back to our Country. One of the assets I have is I’m able to speak to people in tremendous numbers. We have thousands of people lined up outside right now trying to get in. But I’m able to speak to them and often times it’s on live television, you understand. So I’m able to get my word out. To ENORMOUS CROWDS. The biggest crowds you've seen in your entire life. People listen to me. They "trust" me. Because I'm very very rich. And I'm making them rich. Something nobody else could do. Winning! #JobsNotMobs [twitter.com]
