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.
