A 50-year-old man has been hospitalised after he was savagely beaten by an angry mob in Busumbala.
Yahya Jagana was returning to his house in Tabokoto on Thursday evening when natives of Busumbala allegedly billeted on him after he was mistaken for a child kidnapper. He had in his car six children.
Mr Jagana’s son Pa Saikou Jagana confirmed to The Fatu Network the victim is his father.
He said: “If young people are jobless, what do you expect them to do?
“I have told my dad before that taking all these kids to the garden is not safe but he would tell me if you leave them home they will not sleep but if you take them to the garden when they come home they will sleep because they would be tired.
“This is a gentleman, why beat him? Right now my mom said he cannot even walk. He was with his younger brother Nuha Jagana and they beat both of them. The younger brother is hard of hearing but lives in Paris. He is only there for a visit.”
Pa Saikou is calling for the arrest of his father’s attackers.
