Police Rescue Alleged Kidnapper From Mob

Date: 2014-05-25

The timely intervention of the men of the Kwara State police command saved a middle-aged woman from being lynched in Ilorin at the weekend over allegation of being a kidnapper.

The incident which took place around Offa Garage area of the metropolis on Friday according to eyewitnesses also created confusion in the area as many mistook the sporadic shots by the police trying to rescue the woman for an attack from insurgents.

The incident took place at school closing time forcing many parents with wards in schools located around Olunlade and its environs to embark on swift efforts to secure their children.

According to an eyewitness,  the woman was allegedly caught with two kids she allegedly kidnapped. Those who discovered the alleged act were said to have raised the alarm which attracted a mob that soon descended on the woman.

It was the arrival of policemen that saved the woman but even at that, the policemen had to fire several shots into the air to disperse the angry crowd who were ready to burn the alleged kidnapper. Some in the crowd were said to have even pelted the police van with stones as it drove away with the woman. She was taken to the Civil Service Clinic for treatment.

The police spokesman in the state, Mr Femi Okasanmi, confirmed the incident noting that the woman was mentally ill but still being detained by the command.
