The Police Command in Lagos State says it has detained two suspects for allegedly killing a man, simply identified as Monday over alleged cable theft.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos.
“The informant said that at about 3:00 a.m. of same date, he received a call from one of his brothers that one Monday has been lynched to death by some group of boys,” Hundeyin said.
He said that the suspects and others still at large, conspired and murdered Monday after he was indicted for cable theft.
“After Monday was beaten to stupor, the suspects used copper wire to tie his neck and strangled him to death,” he added.
He said that the corpse had been recovered and evacuated to the morgue at Mainland General Hospital, Yaba, for preservation and autopsy.
According to him, investigation is ongoing. (NAN)
