Anambra state police command says it has arrested two suspects for involvement in a recent mob lynching that resulted in the death of suspected criminals.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Aderemi Adeoye, cautioned residents against taking laws into their hands in the event of crime, stressing that the command would no longer condone situations where people engage in jungle justice by lynching suspects to death without trial.

DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in a statement, quoted the CP on Friday described any mob lynching of crime suspects as bestial and worse than their victims.

The PPRO said that perpetrators would be charged with murder.

He said that perpetrators would be charged with murder.

According to him: “Someone steals a phone, and a mob kills him. The sentence for stealing a phone is three years imprisonment.

“Those who lynch commit murder, which carries the death penalty because the Courts have not delegated anyone outside the judiciary to try, convict and execute suspects,”
