Before his arrest, angry mob had already beaten him to a stupor, meanwhile, the victim and the suspect have been taken to hospital for medical attention.”

He quoted the state Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng as condemning the decision of a mob to attack the suspect.

“They should endeavour to take such suspects to the nearest Police Station whenever they are apprehended. This would afford the Police the opportunity to conduct an appropriate investigation into the nefarious activities of the suspects, and bring them to justice in accordance with extant laws,” the commissioner was quoted as advising.
