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 July 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.
