Punch reports that the mobbed police officer has been taken to the palace of the traditional ruler in Ijegun, where angry youths are requesting to lynch him.
one of them said, “He must die. There is no way he will leave that place alive. I can assure you of that.
“I have also been chased out of the palace, but there is a large number of people who have besieged the palace to have him lynched.”
At the time of publishing this report, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana has not reacted to the incident.
