Sagamu Road Police Division in Ikorodu, Lagos was almost burnt down on Thursday 8th June, 2017 by angry residents. The residents were demanding for three suspects arrested in connection with the death and dismembering of a seven-year-old boy.
Sources told us that: “The boy was on the premises of a white garment church when he was abducted. He was beheaded and his head buried in the church. One of the suspects was caught and he took them to the church where the boy’s head was buried. When the pastor was interrogated, he said some people asked him to use the head for a ritual to make his church grow.”
“The police arrested some other suspects in connection with the crime. They were still interrogating them at the Sagamu Road Police Division when a mob attacked the station and asked the police to release the suspects to them for jungle justice.”
“When they were about to burn down the station, the police called for reinforcement and sent the suspects to the SCIID, Yaba.”
The spokesperson for the state police command, Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the suspects had confessed to the crime.
He said, “The head was buried, while the body was kept in a canal. The case has been transferred to the SCIID for further investigation.”
