Commissioner of Police Warns Kwara Vigilantes Against Self-Imposed Justice

Date: 2024-11-12

Daily Trust reports that the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, has expressed disapproval regarding reports of jungle justice reportedly committed by certain vigilante groups in the state.

Addressing the tragic death of Lanre Adebayo, a University of Ilorin graduate, Olaiya cautioned vigilantes against taking the law into their own hands and urged lawful procedures in the handling of suspects.

He said, “Late Lanre got into an argument with the vigilante group in the Ita-Elepa area of Ilorin metropolis and they decided to teach him a lesson which ended tragically.

“Also, there was another recent incident where another vigilante group arrested and detained a suspect and demanded N1.5m for his release, forcing a lawyer to petition the police command.”

City & Crime reports that Adebayo was on his way home after a visit to his mother but was allegedly beaten to death during an encounter with a vigilante group.
