A mob at the weekend beat up a young man suspected to be a kidnapper at Iyana Ipaja, a Lagos suburb.

He was alleged to have kidnapped a boy, whom he kept in a sack.

An eyewitness said immediately he was apprehended after people noticed the strange nature of the sack and found the boy in the sack, he was stripped off his shirt and people beat him up.

He said: “We noticed he carried a sack, which, upon enquiry, contained a small boy. We asked him his mission, but he didn’t respond.

“People around raised the alarm. A crowd gathered and started beating him up until he was injured.”

It was gathered that the suspected kidnapper came from Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

He was later handed over to the police, while the kidnapped boy was reunited with his mother.
