Two suspected Point of Sale (POS) robbers were killed on Saturday in the Igando region of Lagos State, according to reports.
The state command of the Nigeria Police Force issued a statement on Sunday confirming the incident to journalists.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command’s spokesman, said that the suspects had robbed a POS worker in the Igando region of the state before being confronted by locals.
Hundeyin revealed that the suspects were apprehended on Independence Day in a post on his verified Twitter account.He claimed that the crowd set the victims on fire and burned them beyond recognition.
“Police arrived at the scene, but the mob had fled,” he stated.The investigation has already begun.
The incident was slammed by the police spokesperson, who stated that the force is concerned about how to end the antiquated and illegal practice.
Hundeyin urged Nigerians to put an end to the crime, claiming that jungle justice was a criminal case.Instead, he suggested that the suspect be turned over to the police for prosecution.
The spokesperson praised reporters for their excellent reporting of criminal arrests in Lagos state in his narration.
However, he urged judiciary correspondents to do more to inform Nigerians about the progress of criminal cases being prosecuted in various Lagos courts.
He stated, “This would put an end to the fallacy that police were taking money and releasing suspects.”
Over the weekend, the Kwara state Fire Service found two bodies and a Toyota Yaris in a river near Olusola Saraki Abattoir along Sobi Road in Ilorin.
In a statement, Hassan Adekunle, the service’s Head of Department for Media and Publicity, said that after residents were informed on Friday, the operation was carried out with their support.
In addition, he advised the general public not to drive in heavy rain.
Adekunle cited the vehicle’s registration number as Lagos APP544E, noting that “the victims were struggling to drive through the bridge and suddenly got stuck in the flood which pushed them into the river.”
He stated, “Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, Director of the Kwara State Fire Service, has therefore urged the general public to avoid driving whenever there is heavy rainfall.”
