Four suspected kidnappers have been nabbed for allegedly attempting to kidnap a 10-year-old girl in Lagos State.
The Lagos State Police Command, via the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development in a tweet.
Hundeyin said that the suspects were rescued from being lynched by an angry mob, who caught them perpetrating the crime.
He said,
“These four elderly people allegedly attempted to kidnap a 10-year-old girl. People around apprehended them and beat them black and blue.
He added that investigation was ongoing even as he urged the general public to desist from jungle justice.
“The police arrived on time. Investigation is ongoing. Stop jungle justice! Report crime and criminals to the police.”
