Update on the young boy beaten & burnt to death in Lagos for stealing

Remember the story today of the boy who was beaten and burnt to death in Lagos for allegedly stealing? Read here. Well, he's not 7 years old like earlier speculated but he's still a young boy and from voices heard in the video it's alleged that he stole a phone and not
garri as earlier reported.
It's also alleged that he wanted to kill the owner of the phone before he was
apprehended, beaten and burnt to death. This happened at Alafia along Badagry-Expressway of Lagos last Saturday. Nothing warrants such barbaric act. Nothing!
