Mob lynch suspected kidnappers in Warri
Two suspected
kidnappers yesterday met their waterloo in Warri, Delta State as an
angry mob lynched them after failing to abduct a woman and her child.
One of the unidentified suspects was burnt to death at Eboh, by Upper
Erejuwa junction while the other was beaten to death at Ogboru.
A
security source explained that four of the suspects had attempted to
kidnap the woman who was said to be driving a Toyota Camry car along
Eboh road but an alarm by the woman attracted a police patrol team and
passersby. It was further learnt that the police patrol team chased the
suspects and, with the help of youths in the area, apprehended the two
while the others escaped. But the mob, angered by the persistent cases
of kidnapping in the area refused to allow the Police to take the two
men to the station instead, jungle justice was administered to them.
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officers, Charles Muka, who
confirmed the incident, also disclosed that two cut-to-size double
barrel guns were retrieved from the suspects. “Detectives are on the
trail of the fleeing kidnappers and we are confident that they will be
arrested soon,” he said.
