Some hours ago, residents of Ologuneru in Ibadan reportedly set ablaze a vehicle driven by an alleged kidnapper along the Eleyele–Ologuneru Road.
According to several eyewitness accounts, the suspect snatched the vehicle at a supermarket with two children inside while their parent wasn't in the car. He was consequently being chased by commercial motorcyclists from the Eleyele area while allegedly attempting to escape with two kidnapped children inside the Lexus RX 330 SUV. During the high-speed chase, the suspect reportedly hit two people, who sadly lost their lives on the spot.
Eyewitnesses said the bike riders eventually caught up with him close to Iyana-Ekerin junction, Ologuneru area, where the two children were rescued successfully. The suspect was then severely beaten by angry residents before the vehicle was set on fire. They obviously thought the vehicle was his and that he just kidnapped the two children.
Police officers later arrived at the scene and reportedly took the suspect away. However, witnesses expressed doubts about his survival due to the extent of the injuries he sustained during the mob attack, claiming that one of his eyes was already badly damaged.
We await the report of Police investigation to know the actual circumstances surrounding the incident
