A female lawyer, Uduak Adams, is demanding justice for the attack she suffered at the hands of a mob that would have killed her after she was

Adams told our correspondent that the incident happened on September 16, 2023, on Aborisade Street in the Surulere area of Lagos State when she went to inspect a house she wanted to rent and she asked the boy for directions.

She noted that she was shocked when a few minutes after she left the spot where she spoke with the boy, his mother approached her and accused her of kidnapping him from their compound.“Immediately, people gathered. They carried planks, and sticks, dragged me, and didn’t give me a chance to explain. They dragged me and started beating me,” she recalled.“The crowd brought tyres and wanted to burn me. They told me that I was going to die, that even the police and Army could not save me.

Policemen from Itire Police Division were said to have immediately arrested some of the attackers including the boy’s mother. The Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos State chapter, Bisi Makanjuola, said, “The NBA Lagos is looking at the case and we will do all that we can to ensure that she gets justice and that she is rehabilitated.”

Attempts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, proved abortive as he was not reachable on the telephone and the text messages sent to him were not responded to.All rights reserved.
