There was tension around the Odunade Bus stop along Orile-Badagry express road earlier today, November 17, as a suspected child kidnapper was caught and beaten to a state of unconsciousness by an angry mob. 
The suspect was beaten and stripped naked by the mob who tortured him till blood gushed out from parts of his body, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Passers-by who witnessed the incident however gave different accounts of how the whole scenario played out. A dispatch rider, Mr Omololu Ojo said that the man was caught at the bus stop while trying to take the children away who he said were aged between six and three years old.
He said: “Somebody who knows the children saw him taking them and alerted the parents who were already looking for them. He tried to tell lies but they held him until the mother of the children arrived and took them away.’’
Due to the unconscious state of the man, it was difficult to get his name or where he came from. Meanwhile, policemen at Orile-Iganmu Police Station, which is the closest to the area, confirmed that the matter has not been reported to them.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Joseph Offor also confirmed that he is yet to get any information on the issue but he promised to make the details of the incident public when it gets to his office.
