At about 1100hrs on Monday (today), a mob reportedly descended on an alleged terrorist at Ijora Badia in the Apapa area of Lagos State.
Just before the suspected terrorist was lynched Police arrived and whisked him away. Preliminary investigation shows that the male suspect, who many alleged disguised as a woman, is Sanni Gafar, aged 29.
He was found with a bag containing three hammers, six screwdrivers, one pair of pliers, one chisel, five spanners, three rolls of black cellophane, cable wires, a 20mm bending spring, a pair of black trousers, and a plastic box of clips.
Investigation is ongoing to ascertain his claim that he is an electrician. CP Abiodun Alabi, while commending residents of the state for their vigilance, once again warns against any form of jungle justice. All suspicious persons or movements are to be reported to security agencies, he emphasized.
