Kwara State Commission of Police, Victor Olaiya, expressed disappointment at the reports of jungle justice against some vigilante groups.
This was as a result of the death of Lanre Adebayo, a graduate of the University of Ilorin, who was on his way home after visiting his mother.
Sources had it that he was beaten to death during his encounter with a vigilante group.
The Commissioner of Police issued warning to the vigilante group telling them not take laws into their hands but they should always hand over the suspects to authority.
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.”
