Men of the Lagos State Police Command have saved a family from a mob who thought they were kidnappers.
Gatekeepers News reports that Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin who confirmed the development on Wednesday, warned residents to stop jungle justice.
The PRO said on Eko Bridge, four adults (including one grandmother) were beaten after they were suspected of being kidnappers.
A mob descended on the quartet because they had with them in their vehicle 12 children – between seven months and 12 years old.
Hundeyin noted that police officers from Ebute-Ero Division and the RRS rescued the adults from lynching.
“Their vehicle was totally burnt down by the mob”, the spokesman said.
“Preliminary investigation shows that they were coming from the beach where they allegedly went to do some sacrifices.
“The adults also explained that the children were their children land their grandchildren.”
The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
