Policemen Arrested Over Lynching Of Students
According
to Punch, the policemen who just stood there and watched while two
young men were beaten to death on Sunday July 21 in Badagry, have been
arrested. The police officers, Inspector Adefemi Ashogbon and Sergeant
John Sonayon of the Badagry Police Division were arrested on Friday
August 2nd. Sergeant Sonayon was the police officer that interviewed the
victims during their torture. Eight other people have also been
arrested over the lynching.
Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko said,
“The
Divisional Police Officer did not present the matter to us the way it
happened. When we started asking questions, we discovered that the two
people, who were killed, were not armed robbers contrary to what the DPO
told us. When we saw the video clips and watched the way those boys
were killed, we told ourselves that we would be failing in our duties if
we fail to bring everyone involved to justice.”
The
sooner they start giving long prison sentences to people who lynch or
people who are even found on the scene of a lynching...just looking
sef...the safer our family and friends will be.
