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.
