Reports indicate the Policemen effected an arrest somewhere in Ibeju,Lekki on Wednesday July 27th.
The youths in the area got wind of this and mobilized to rescue the suspect,they arrived late and missed the policemen.
On their way back, they sighted two armed policemen guarding a company. The irate youths, numbering over two hundred then decided to descend on the policemen, pelting them with stones and destroyed a Lexus SUV within.
When it became apparent that the mob was hell-bent on lynching the policemen, the policemen justifiably used their firearm. One of the attackers was hit; and is currently responding to treatment in the hospital.
