A 25-year-old man mistaken for a thief has been lynched by a mob at Nii Boi, a suburb of Accra.
The young man was said to be loitering around the area at dawn, prompting a resident whose house had been burgled at about the same time, to raise an alarm.
The victim was later discovered to be 'innocent' after the lifeless body was paraded in front of a house identified as the family house of the deceased.
Assembly member of the area Michael Zigah told Joy News the Tesano police is investigating the case.
“Unfortunately, information that I am also getting now, tells me that the person is not a thief but he is somebody who lives in the community, sells at Lapaz and has family in the community.”
He confirmed that the police have been in the area to pick up some people they suspect of killing the young man.
