Three escape lynching in Abuja

Three persons believed to be internet fraudsters were rescued from a mob in the Lokogoma area of Abuja.

The mob pounced on the suspects, who attempted to defraud a Point of Sale operator.

Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory police command, said this in a statement she issued Thursday.

According to her, the mob would have lynched the suspects but for the quick intervention of the police acting on a tipoff.

Adeh said the commissioner of police for the FCT, Babaji Sunday, is warning residents to desist from carrying out jungle justice.

Instead, he enjoined residents to lodge their complaints with the police while allowing swift dispensation of justice.
