Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim is married to one of the suspects, Joseph Agugom and the child belongs to both of them. It was also revealed that the victim is suffering from mental illness and she is being transported to hospital when she raised alarm and some members of the public stopped the car and descended on the suspects.

Members of both the suspects and victims family came to the station and made statements to the effect that the victim is suffering from mental illness and was actually being transported to hospital.

The other two children of the victim with her husband, were brought to the Station, contrary to the allegations of the victim that they were killed by the husband for money ritual.

The victim was taken to hospital by the Police for medical examination. Police has launched a manhunt on those who participated in the mob action with a view of bringing them to justice.

Members of the Public are strongly advised to be more careful not to jump into conclusions on alarm raised by anybody. Innocent persons have suffered death or bodily harm and inhuman treatment through jungle justice.

Members of the Public have the powers to arrest anybody suspected of a crime but the law provides that such persons arrested should be handed over to the Police immediately.

It is only investigating that can determine the truthfulness or otherwise of the allegations. And our laws presumes the accused person to be innocent until proven guilty by Court of competent jurisdiction.

Let me hope you are looking for attention




Sorry to ask oooo!


















did you finish your primary school

How much did police receive from the ritualist husband. Who conducted the mental test on her and which psychiatrist can verify their findings on the woman's mental state. Though i understand that some women can make false, baseless and sentimental accusations against their partner when they're not being treated well.

Too bad some lunatics jump into conclusion and start beating innocent person. I never believed that story from day one. How can a sane person believe that nonsense story from that woman. I'm sure her husband must have been trying to explain they won't listen... crazy world. Police should fish them out and jail them.

and many people in nairaland have condemned this innocent man to death, including feminists.

click like here to tender your apology to this innocent man.


let me start, oga am sorry, I also condemn you without knowing the true story. forgive me sir

They reshaped his face.. the beating was OP
Seriously though when I say becareful of Nigerian women you guys won't hear

And what did the police do to the lynch mob? We have normalized assault and thuggery such that people can kill in the name of lynching and no one is held accountable
