The Ogun State Police Command said it had begun an investigation into the circumstances that led to the lynching of two persons over allegations of the murder of 12-year-old Ayomide Agunbiade for ritual purposes.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, told newsmen on Thursday that the incident happened in the Odo Alaro area of Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State on Tuesday.

It would be recalled that two yet-to-be-identified persons were lynched by a mob for allegedly killing a 12-year-old boy, Ayomide Agunbiade, for ritual purposes on Tuesday.

Reports say Agunbiade had gone missing on Christmas Day (Monday) which was his birthday after someone said to be his uncle had come to pick him up in the absence of his mother in the pretext of celebrating his birthday with him.
