Police officers in Benue State rescued two men from an angry crowd after they were accused of fraud. The incident happened in a busy area, where people claimed the suspects had tricked them out of their money.
Some people said the two men scammed them. When they realized they had been cheated, they shouted for help. A crowd quickly gathered, and people got angry. They wanted to punish the suspects right away.
Before the mob could harm the suspects, the police arrived. They stopped the attack and took the men into custody. The officers told the crowd not to take the law into their own hands.
Many times, angry mobs attack people without being sure they are guilty. Sometimes, innocent people get hurt or even killed. The police remind everyone that only a court can decide if someone is guilty.
The suspects are now with the police. Officers will investigate to find out if they really committed fraud. If they are guilty, they will face the law.
