The command’s image maker, who said that the suspects would be charged in court for murder and arson, appealed to members of the public never to take laws into their hands.

“We need to see ourselves as one and love each other. We should first see ourselves as human beings before becoming either commercial motorcyclist, policemen or any other professionals.

“As of now, no one can confirm if the dead young man in question was an internet fraudster.

“Rather than people around to have helped when the accident happened, some resolved to jungle justice by killing the young man and setting his car ablaze.

“We need to refrain from engaging in jungle justice, shun hearsay and report any incident to the nearby police station so that there will be peace in our community,” she said.

The mob action took place after some youths alleged that some fetish items were inside the driver’s vehicle, raising suspension that he is a ‘Yahoo boy’.

His vehicle rammed into about five commercial motorcycles carrying passengers at different spots along Ijo Mimo, through Sunday bus stop, Ijoka road.

The victims died on the spot, while others sustained serious injuries.

His parents who reportedly rushed to the scene while the mob were stoning him, escaped being lynched by the mob

They were encircled after identifying the victim as their son.
