Man Wrongfully Accused of Stealing ₦2 Million Seen in New Photos After Assault

Ekene Agala, the man who was allegedly beaten by a mob and security operatives over claims that he stole ₦2 million, has resurfaced in a recent photo shared by human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu.

The development comes days after a video of Ekene went viral, showing him insisting on his innocence during the incident, which reportedly occurred on June 28, 2026.

In a post shared on his Facebook page, Harrison alleged that the woman who accused Ekene of stealing the money has now changed her account of what happened.

According to Harrison, the woman had initially claimed there was CCTV footage showing Ekene taking the money. However, she later stated that there was no CCTV footage and that the allegation was based on what a young child reportedly told her.

Reacting to the development, Harrison wrote:

“What happened to Ekene Agala is a painful reminder of why we must never rush to judgment,”

“A woman initially accused Ekene of stealing N2 million and claimed there was CCTV footage to prove it. Based on that allegation, estate security and others nearly lynched him through jungle justice.

“Today, the story has changed. The same woman now says there is no CCTV footage and claims it was a little child who allegedly saw Ekene taking the money.

“This raises serious questions and reinforces an important lesson. Never follow the crowd without knowing the facts.

“Tomorrow, we will begin the process of ensuring that Ekene Agala gets justice. We thank God he survived the mob attack.

“Let this serve as a reminder to everyone, don’t be quick to judge based on viral videos, rumours, or public sentiment. The truth often lies beyond the first story you hear.

“Emerging facts now point to Ekene’s innocence in the allegation against him. We will find out.”
