Ms Odunlami-Omisanya said one of the two arrested suspects allegedly masterminded the burning of Mr. Olorunfemi’s car.

The officer, who said the suspects would be charged with murder and arson, appealed to the public not to take the law into their hands.

“As of now, no one can confirm if the dead young man in question was an internet fraudster. Rather than people around to have helped when the accident happened, some resolved to jungle justice by killing the young man and setting his car ablaze,” the police spokeswoman explained.

“We need to refrain from engaging in jungle justice, shun hearsay, and report any incident to a nearby police station so that there will be peace in our community.”JAMB Result
