The man, who was
apprehended by a mob in the Ikeja area of the state, was already on the verge
of being burnt alive when officials of the Nigeria Police Force stormed the
area.
An unidentified man
narrowly escaped being lynched in Lagos state on Friday, August 11, after he
was suspected of being a kidnapper.
The mob wet him with
premium motor spirit, also called petrol, and attempted to force a used tyre on
his neck in preparation of being burnt when the police arrived.
He was immediately rescued
and whisked away amid complaints by the mob.
A hideout of suspected
kidnappers has been uncovered at the Ile Zik area of Oshodi-Ikeja by vigilant
residents. The report quoted Premium Times as saying that some clothes and
other personal items discovered at the alleged den was set ablaze by the mob
following the discovery.
An eye witness who was
among those who uncovered the alleged hideout said the den was being used by a
mad man.
“Some items discovered
include ladies underwear and lots more, we later saw that he is normal, many
human items were found there," Prince Adeyanju, a resident, said. Watch
