The images were uploaded by some of the locals on social media with the caption: "The neighbours of the community have done justice when we apprehended a criminal who was about to rape a little girls of just 8 years, and we handed him over to police who we hope will get justice for the innocent girl." 

It's unconfirmed what action the authorities will take against the man or what evidence locals had to humiliate before they stripped him off.
