Two suspected Point of Sale POS robbers have been killed by a mob in the Igando area of Lagos State on Saturday.
The Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday.
The suspects according to SP Hundeyin, had robbed a POS attendant in the Igando area of the state before people in the area engaged them.
In a post on his verified Twitter page, Hundeyin revealed that the suspects were apprehended on Independence Day.
He said that the mob set the victims ablaze and burnt them beyond recognition adding that when operatives of the Command arrived at the scene the mob had fled.
SP Hundeyin condemned the killing noting that the force is concerned about how to halt the growing incidences of jungle justice.
He said jungle justice was a criminal case in Nigeria and urged members of the public to desist from the crime adding that they should rather hand over any suspect to the police for prosecution.
