They said the angry residents swung into action by embarking on jungle justice.

But, all efforts made by DAILY POST to get a reaction from the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Adewale Osifeso, proved abortive.

Calls put through his mobile phone were not successful while a message sent to Mr. Osifeso has not been replied as of the time of filing this report on Thursday.
