An Okada rider narrowly escapes mob attack after fatally hitting a dog at Nungua Coco Beach.
The incident occurred during a motorbike display at the beach, leading to the death of one of three dogs in the area.
Despite the commotion, the rider managed to flee as onlookers gathered.
Police from Nungua District Headquarters responded to the scene and retrieved the motorbike, following a report from the dog’s owner.
A distraught owner later carried the deceased pet for burial.
Mob attacks have been increasingly prevalent in the country, reflecting growing frustrations and a sense of impunity among certain groups.
These attacks often stem from a lack of trust in the justice system, leading individuals to take matters into their own hands.
The rise of mob justice underscores broader societal issues such as inequality, ineffective law enforcement, and a breakdown of community cohesion.
Addressing these underlying issues is crucial to preventing further escalation of mob attacks and restoring faith in the rule of law.
