Police officers
involved in Badagry lynching get bail
According
to new reports, the police officers indicted in the lynching of two innocent
young men (Ifechukwudi Nwanikpor, 25, and Kazeem Onayemi, 26) in Ajara,
Badagry, have been granted bail.
From
Today's Telegraph
The
officers were arrested due to their alleged involvement in the mob action that
led to the brutal killing of the two young men as captured by various video
clips which later went viral on the internet.
According
to our source, Inspector Adefemi Ashogbon, Sergeant John Sanayon and seven
other police officers were granted bail due to their deteriorating health in
detention and were allowed to seek medical attention pending the outcome of the
investigation and date of their trial.
A
video recording by some bystanders exposed Inspector Adefemi Ashogbon and Sergeant
John Sanayon, who were attached to the Badagry Police station, at the scene of
lynching while seven others police officers were detained for allegedly
planting guns on the victims and labelling them armed robbers.
Several
calls were made to the Lagos state police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, in a bid
to ascertain the grant of bail. However, they went unanswered.
