Jungle justice has taken place in
Ajegunle, a Lagos suburb also
known as the Jungle, after an angry
mob amputated a 25-year old
mechanic, Seun Adisa, for allegedly
stealing N10,000.
The incident happened at Ajegunle,
a suburb of Lagos State.
Kwara State-born Adisa was
allegedly caught in the early
morning after robbers invaded
Mokoya street in Olodi Apapa, an
extension of Ajegunle in Lagos
State, western Nigeria, and carted
away valuables.
Adisa was reportedly caught and
searched while the robbers were
escaping and was found with some
stolen items.
P.M.NEWS gathered that a resident
brought out a cutlass and cut off
his right arm and when he was
about to cut off one of his legs the
police came and they handed him
over to them.
The police alleged that Adisa and
other members of his gang who are
now at large, allegedly broke into
the home of Augustine Enijore and
stole the N10,000 he kept in the
house including a wrist watch and
necklace.
While the operation was going on,
the residents mobilized and went
after the gang and Adisa was
apprehended and was found with
the stolen money and the items.
The residents first recovered the
items before one of them used a
sharp cutlass and cut off Adisa’s
arm.
But as he was about to cut off
Adisa’s leg, the police arrived the
scene and rescued him.
Adisa was brought to court on
Monday with his right hand covered
with bandage and when he was
arraigned, he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mr T.A.
Aborenwa granted him bail in the
sum of N50,000 with one surety in
like sum.
He was ordered to be remanded in
custody pending when he will
perfect the bail.
However, because of the injury he
sustained, the prison officials
rejected Adisa and insisted that they
needed medical report before they
would accept him as an inmate.
Adisa was taken back to police
custody pending when the report
will be ready.
