On Tuesday, August 20, three men were arrested in the Ebute-Igbogbo area of Lagos for allegedly trying to kidnap a car dealer. The suspects were caught after a mob intervened and handed them over to the police. Videos circulating on social media showed the men with bloodied faces after the mob took matters into their own hands.

According to the Lagos state police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the suspects are now in police custody. He also mentioned that efforts are underway to apprehend two more individuals who were involved in the crime.

This incident has sparked concern within the community, but the swift action of the locals and the police helped prevent the situation from escalating further.

Crime in Lagos continues to be an issue, but the police are committed to cracking down on criminal activities like this one. Local authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.

The community hopes that justice will be served and that the remaining suspects will soon be captured.
