Last Tuesday, 3 Nigerians accused of kidnapping a child were lynched to death by an angry mob of young rioters in Bissau.
Rumor had spread across the city that the child had been taken by a group of Nigerians, prompting an angry crowd to gather .
Hundreds of angry rioters, mostly young and armed with stones and bottles, managed to grab one of the suspected kidnappers from a police car as officers stood by powerless.
“Death to Nigerians! Enough is enough, stop! The Nigerians must leave,” chanted the crowd.
Security forces were unable to control the crowd. Police fired warning shots and tear gas in an effort to disperse the mob, but they were unsuccessful.
