Commissioner of Police, Mr. Femi Oyeleye, led a team of mobile policemen to the palace with an Armour Personnel Carrier.
The CP was said to have addressed the residents and assured them that the case would be properly investigated and the suspect would be charged to court if there were evidence against her.
The Oluwo, when contacted on the telephone told our correspondent that he tried to prevent his subjects from killing the suspect but they were adamant.
Oba Akanbi said, “I was holding a meeting when they brought the woman, they said she is a kidnapper. Those who brought her to the palace said they believed she would confess to me if I interrogated her.
“I was asking her some questions when the police came to the place. The people started stoning the policemen because they said they did not have confidence in the police.
“They said the police would release her but I have no power to detain the suspect or to order that she should be killed. The law must be followed, our law does not make provision for jungle justice but they refused to listen.
“The CP led his men and addressed them in front of the palace and the policemen eventually took the woman away. But while they were stoning the policemen, they broke some lights on the fence of the palace.”
The Oluwo said nothing incriminating was found on the woman but it was difficult to say categorically if the woman had mental problem or she was truly a kidnapper and was pretending to be insane.
