There was drama yesterday when an angry
mob striped unclad two men, who were
accused of eating human flesh after beating
them and almost setting them ablaze. Luckily
for them, thePolice quickly intervened and
took them away. Read how Pm News reported
it below;
Earlier, a passer-by along the rail line in Ikeja
saw three men in tattered dresses. One of
them was making a call and one eating a meat
suspected to be human flesh.
The passer-by raised an alarm that attracted
the mob which instantly pounced on the two
suspect human part eaters. But the one
making the phone call managed to escape.
Their problem was compounded when the
mob moved to their hideout behind the Ikeja
Local Government Secretariat fence and found
a cutlass, knife, charms and meat with fat
which the mob suspected to be human flesh.
When a detachment of policemen from Area
‘F’ arrived the scene, Abiodun told them, that
he was a carpenter but had no money to set
up a workshop.
Abiodun claimed to be from Akiniku in
Moloney area of Ilaro, Yewa, Ogun State,
Southwest Nigeria. He added that he made the
hideout his residence as he could not
afford to rent a room for himself.
He explained that the meat discovered in their
hideout was a cow fat which they eat and not
human parts.
After intensive questioning, the policemen
were convinced that the suspects were
mistaken for human parts eaters and sellers
by the mob. They were later released.
Speaking with P.M.NEWS on the incident,
a police officer who preferred anonymity
advised the public to investigate suspected
criminals before taking any action.
But for the timely intervention of the
policemen, the officer noted, the suspects
would have been set ablaze.
