Three suspected okada riders/armed robbers who it was alleged had been
terrorizing the residents of Ikotun area of Lagos State, were caught and
set ablaze by an angry mob.
The suspected robbers were killed after their robbery operation was
foiled by a member of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, vigilante group
in the area.
The robbers, who allegedly operated with the aid of motorcycle, met
their untimely death when they attempted to rob a woman, a wholesales
recharge cards seller, at Governor’s Road, Ikotun at about 7 p. m. on
Wednesday.
It was alleged that one of the robbers pointed a gun at the woman and
demanded for her bag containing recharge cards and sales proceeds for
the day which turned to an argument and hence call the attention of
passersby and an OPC member. They were caught and set ablaze by the
angry mob with the petrol they got from their motorcycle.
According to the eyewitness, before the police could intervene the mob
had gathered the suspects together and burnt them beyond recognition
along with their motorcycle.
However, sources at Ikotun Police Division station confirmed the
incident and said no arrest had been made in connection to the jungle
justice meted out to the suspected robbers.
When will this jungle justice stop in Nigeria? Whose crime is
greater....the one who stole or one who killed? When are Nigerians going
to stop lashing out their frustration on petty thieves and use their
common sense? May God have mercy on us all!
