Police warn against jungle justice as mob sets 2 robbery suspects ablaze in Ibadan

Anthony Iwuoma

The Oyo State Police Command has reiterated its warning against jungle justice, following an incident on Monday when a mob set two persons ablaze over alleged robbery at Molete and Oke-Ado areas of Ibadan, the state capital.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, SP Olugbenga Fadeyi, warned that the state police command would not tolerate people taking laws into their own hands. He said: “Jungle justice is condemned in strong terms. It has become recurrent in the state. If allowed to continue, it will degenerate into what all and sundry will not be able to curb, and many innocent lives will be terminated unjustly.”

Fadeyi added, however, that one suspect escaped the mob action, as an Amotekun team rescued and handed over to the police.
