Two suspected robbers met their waterloo as they were set ablaze by a mob on Saturday, October 1, after they robbed a POS attendant at Igando area of Lagos State.
This is just as the police asked the general public ways or how to put a stop to jungle justice.
Lagos State Police Command Spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin stated this in a tweet on his official twitter handle on Sunday morning, October 2nd.
Hundeyin said the two suspects allegedly robbed the POS attendant, leading to a mob descending on them and set them on fire.
According to him, before the police arrived the scene, the mob had fled.
He disclosed that investigation into the case has commenced.
“Yesterday, at Igando, two men allegedly robbed a POS attendant. A mob descended on them and set them ablaze; burnt beyond recognition. Police arrived but the mob had fled. Investigation has commenced. Again, how do we put a stop to this archaic and criminal practice?” he said.
Taking to the comment section of his tweet, twitter users expressed divergent views to his question on how to stop jungle justice.
