A 25-year-old man mistaken for a thief has been lynched by a mob at Nii Boi, a suburb of Accra.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The victim was later discovered to be \u2018innocent\u2019 after the lifeless body was paraded in front of a house identified as the family house of the deceased.<\/p>\n

Assembly member of the area Michael Zigah told Joy News the Tesano police is investigating the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the police have been in the area to pick up some people they suspect of killing the young man.<\/p>\n
