How Police rescued grandmother, 3 others from being lynched in Lagos
Police officers from Ebute-Ero Division and the RRS on Wednesday were on time to save four persons from being lynched by a mob on the Eko Bridge.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesman of the Lagos Command, made this known on social media.
In a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle, Hundeyin said, “Stop jungle justice!!! Today on Eko Bridge, four adults (including one grandmother) were beaten black and blue after they were suspected of being kidnappers because they had with them in their vehicle twelve children (ranging from 7 months to 12 years old).

“Police officers from Ebute-Ero Division and the RRS were on time to rescue the adults from lynching. Their vehicle was totally burnt down by the mob. Preliminary investigation shows that they were all coming from the beach where they allegedly went to make some sacrifices.
“The adults also explained that the children were their children and grandchildren. Case has been transferred to the SCID for further investigations.”
Hundeyin also warned Lagos residents against jungle justice.
