A suspected bandit was lynched on Friday, January 12, 2024, by some angry youths in the Dakar neighborhood, in Douala 3 area. He is a member of a gang of four armed men who attacked an operator of a money transfer kiosk and escaped with her money found. Four of them arrived at the kiosk armed with firearms and matchets on board two motorcycles. When they took to their heels, some courageous youths went after them and succeeded in intercepting the one who carried the bag containing the money. He was served jungle justice. Three of his colleagues vanished into thin air. 'That is the end of him. The same will happen to his colleagues when we succeed in laying hands on them. They have been tormenting us like this almost every day.' An inhabitant explained. Source: Cameroon News Agency
