An angry mob on Saturday attacked the divisional police headquarters in the Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State, killed and later burnt 13 bandits to ashes.
It was gathered that the bandits had invaded the town around 8 pm on Friday where they killed two people including a shopowner.

However, on Saturday morning, angry youths joined police officers from the area to go after the bandits and as a result 13 of the suspected bandits were apprehended in Tangaza forest and were brought to the divisional police headquarters.

A villager who pleaded for anonymity disclosed that when the bandits were brought into the town, residents followed the team to the divisional police station and demanded that the bandits must be killed in their presence.

It was learnt that despite pleas from the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and the local government chairman, the villagers insisted that if the policemen did not kill the bandits in their presence, they would burn down the police station.

The angry mob subsequently overpowered the police and killed all the suspects whose corpses were later burnt to ashes.

The spokesman for the Sokoto Police Command, ASP Sanusi Abubakar, confirmed the incident but refused to talk further.

The Nigerian police is the most corrupt organization in this country followed immediately by Nepa.
The primary reason why there's still Jungle Justice in our streets today is because of the large numbers of corrupt men and women in the Nigerian Police Force. They are legal terrorist in uniform.
Over time, the people have lost faith in the Nigeria police system.

They'd collect bribe and set free a bloody criminal in their custody. This same thief who has wrecked havoc so much in the community would go back to that same place, and commit more and more bloody crime.

Every two weeks he's back again because he has got money to bribe, and silent the mouths of the evil police men...A time will come when these people would loss their cool and take the law in their hands. It's happening from sokoto to lagos, Abia to Jigawa, Ogun to lagos. The Nigerian people have lost faith in the police force. Too many loopholes

Why do you think these sokoto residents did what they did? The Nigerian police would always set free the same men who killed law abiding citizens after money must have exchanged hands.

Same thing they do to Fulani herdsmen killing poor southern Kaduna people.

Good morning north
