Two Men Suspected To Be Human Eaters In Lagos Escape Mob Attack...

According to CKN Nigeria, the two men pictured above were alleged to be cannibals and human flesh eaters and luckily escaped lynching in Lagos .The duo, Alaba Abiodun and

Samuel, who were allegedly eating human flesh, were almost set ablaze by the ever restless Lagos crowd around Ikeja. The story goes like this, a passer-by along the rail line in Ikeja saw three men in tattered dresses. One of them was making a call and one eating a meat suspected to be human flesh. The passer-by raised an alarm that attracted the mob which instantly pounced on the two suspected human parts eaters. But the one making the phone call managed to escape.

Their problem was compounded when the mob moved to their hideout behind the Ikeja Local Government Secretariat fence and found a cutlass, knife, charms and meat with fat which the mob suspected to be human flesh. When a detachment of policemen from Area ‘F’ arrived the scene, Abiodun told them, that he was a carpenter but had no money  to set up a workshop. Abiodun claimed to be from Akiniku in Moloney area of Ilaro, Yewa, Ogun State, South west Nigeria. He added that he made the hideout his residence as he could not afford to rent a room for himself. He explained that the meat discovered in their hideout was a cow fat which they eat and not human parts. 

After intensive questioning, the policemen were convinced that the suspects were mistaken for human parts eaters and sellers by the mob. They were later released.
