A young man from Plateau State, identified as Nengak, has been reportedly beaten to death by a mob in Lagos State after he was allegedly caught in a compromising situation with the wife of his employer.
According to a friend of the deceased, Bitrus Idi, who spoke to Daily Post, Nengak, a security guard, worked for a family in the upscale Victoria Garden City (VGC) in Lagos.
Nengak, who was in his early 20s, reportedly performed various household duties, including cooking, washing cars, and taking the couple’s children to school.
Idi revealed that the household’s husband was often away on international trips, leaving Nengak and his employer’s wife alone in the house.
“Being a handsome, strong, and hardworking young guy, his master’s wife had a crush on him and began inviting him for other duties outside what he was employed to do,” Idi said.
According to Idi, the affair had reportedly been going on for months, but it came to light when the husband installed a CCTV camera after hearing rumours about his wife’s infidelity.
“The man had pretended to be travelling outside Lagos. unknown to Nengak, the man had installed CCTV and had gotten enough evidence,” Idi explained.
On the day of the incident, the employer reportedly told his wife he was travelling but had secretly arranged for a group of local thugs to wait around the house. When the wife called Nengak to the master bedroom as usual, the husband and his gang burst in and caught the pair in the act.
“They beat Nengak to death, and till now, the case is still to be filed as we have nobody to fight for him,” Idi said. He also revealed that the police had demanded payment for the autopsy and other related expenses before they would proceed with the case.
As of now, Nengak’s body remains in the mortuary while his family and friends await further action.
