The
town of Ikorodu has become sort of a jungle with residents taking the
law into their hands, harassing and killing people suspected to be
members of the dreaded Badoo cult in the area.
Angry
residents went berserk in the early hours of Sunday, lynching three
suspected members of Badoo cult in Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos. It
was learnt that the suspects were caught at about 2am in an SUV and
flagged down by the residents who were doing stop and search around
Odogunyan junction. Our
correspondent gathered that a big stone, diesel and a cutlass were
found in the vehicle. The suspects reportedly could not offer any
explanation on what they used the objects for and where they were
heading to. They were subsequently beaten up and burnt to death together with the vehicle. The
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole
confirmed the incident, urging residents to desist from jungle justice. Meanwhile,
the PPRO said over 100 Badoo suspects had been arrested across Ikorodu,
adding that investigations were ongoing to screen out innocent persons
among them.
