According to source at the residence: “The woman was rushed to hospital where she died. We have taken one of the men. He has been beaten and we want you to come down to see things for yourself,”
The mobbed policeman had been taken to the palace of the traditional ruler in Ijegun, where a crowd of angry youths have requested to lynch him. Punch learnt.
“He must die. There is no way he will leave that place alive. I can assure you of that.
“I have also been chased out of the palace, but there is a large number of people who have besieged the palace to have him lynched,”
