Lagos State Police Command has said that a mob carried out jungle justice on two men, who allegedly robbed a POS attendant in the Igando area of the state.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin,, the Command’s Spokesman who confirmed the incident in his verified Twitter handle on Sunday. said the incident happened on Saturday
According to him, the mob set the victims ablaze and burnt them beyond recognition adding “Police arrived at the scene but the mob had fled. The investigation has commenced,”
Hudeyin however, frowned at the action of the mob, wondering how to put a stop to the archaic and criminal practice.
While cautioning that jungle justice was a criminal case in Nigeria, he called on members of the public not to take the laws into their hands, but rather should hand over the suspect to the police for prosecution.
