A woman suspected to be in her late 30's or early 40's met her waterloo today at Abule egba in Lagos subhub
The woman is said to have arrived the vicinity around 7:30-8:00am when
kids were going to school driving a Nissan Extera jeep. She was said to
have been driving around pipe line area still around Ekoro road, about
two bus-stops from where she was eventually lynched.
Eye witnesses say she got down from the jeep at one point and tried to
trick a little child going to school into accepting money from her.
While doing this, a passerby noticed and challenged her, asking why she
wanted to give the child money. Before the passerby could attract
attention, she quickly got in her jeep and sped off.
But fates were against this woman whose desperation and evil ways caught
up with her and led to her death. Instead of fleeing from the vicinity
completely, she drove just two streets from where she made the first
kidnap attempt on same Ekoro road to "try her luck" again with another
child less than an hour later. Unknown to her however, word of her
initial attempt had spread to surrounding streets and residents were at
alert. After gallivanting for a while, she parked and tried to lure
another child. Some residents noticed her and what she was trying to do
and alerted others who went to lay ambush for her in front. She offered
the child biscuit, and before anyone could say Jack Robinson, she
bundled the little girl into her jeep and started to drive off.
She hadn't driven for long before the residents who had been alert
forcefully stopped her car and insisted on a thorough search. Of course,
the child she tried to kidnap was found, and thankfully could still
talk. The little girl was crying profusely, saying in Yoruba language
"This is not my mummy...this is not my mummy!" The angry mob then
dragged the lady out of the car and started to quiz her. The mob was all
fired up and ready to lynch as the previous day, a kidnapper was caught
trying to steal two kids, and another sad incident was also reported in
the same vicinity.
The woman at first refused to talk and seemed very hardened. Instead of
answering their questions, she tried to make a call. This infuriated the
mob and she was stripped and bludgeoned. Her phone was also smashed and
destroyed. Yet, eye witnesses say she didn't budge or answer the
questions she was asked. It was at this stage that some persons in the
crowd brought a tire and fuel. On seeing this, the woman who had
initially refused to answer any questions became paranoid, and started
talking. She then started begging that her life be spared saying that
she was just a messenger, sent to get little kids for diabolic
purposes.
She revealed that they were about 40 people like her sent out to kidnap
little kids in the Abule Egba area of Lagos and its environs. Before she
could even say more, the angry crowd set her ablaze. Some police men
said to be about 20 feet away, ignored the situation.
Her jeep was later taken by police men to the nearest station.
