According to an eyewitness who participated in the jungle justice, said Kunle Poly and two of his accomplices who managed to escape, had gone to Abayawo-Oko, a village in the outskirt of Ilorin, and allegedly kidnapped four people.
The witness stated that villagers who saw the suspects while abducting their victims, chased them with motorcycles.
