Police Foil Mob Attack.

Despite the warnings from both the Nigerian Police and the Lagos State government, some people still believe in taking laws into their own hands, this was evident yesterday in a surburb of Lagos, Ajegunle where a 50-year-old grandmother escaped death by the whiskers.

 The woman, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, was reportedly seen cuddling the day-old-baby whom she wrapped in a cloth.

Some curious persons were said to have raised alarm that she kidnapped the baby which made the mob surround her.

The swift  arrival of policemen from Ajegunle division saved the woman from being lynched.

Preliminary investigation, according to sources at the division, revealed that the child was indeed the woman’s grandchild.

Sources disclosed that the medical  doctor at an undisclosed private hospital around Aiyetoro where the grandmother claimed her child was, was  invited to ascertain the claim.

I really believe the police need to step up their game and do their duties to bring to book all who are involved in this heinous activity, and yes also make sure that the truly guilty ones face the full wrath of the law.

The advent of jungle justice was because our judicial system is partial and we need all that to change but not to the extent of taking another’s life with no chance to defend his or her self.
