Some vigilantes have been arrested by men of the Lagos State Police Command for setting a suspected robber ablaze.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Monday.
He wrote, “Community members arrested a thief in the act. They handed him over to vigilantes.
“Minutes later, community members were shocked to find the apprehended thief being burnt alive.
“Vigilantes have been arrested and will be prosecuted. Say no to jungle justice.”.
The mob was said to have first lynched the suspects before setting them on fire.
