According to report, the women were suspected of being part of a kidnapping network that had been troubling the area for some time. Community members, acting on suspicion and growing tension over rising insecurity, reportedly tracked them down and overpowered them.
In the process, the situation escalated into mob justice, with the suspects stripped naked and publicly exposed before authorities arrived. The act has drawn concern, as residents expressed both anger over insecurity and discomfort over the level of humiliation carried out.
Security operatives were later said to have stepped in to restore order and take control of the situation. The suspects were handed over for further investigation to determine the extent of their involvement in the alleged criminal activities and whether they were truly connected to kidnapping operations in the area.
While some residents defended their actions, citing frustration over repeated security threats, others have condemned the incident, stressing that mob justice undermines lawful investigation and can lead to the punishment of innocent individuals.

The incident highlights ongoing concerns about insecurity in parts of the country, as well as the growing tension between community self-help responses and formal law enforcement procedures.
