A suspected thief met his untimely death on Monday in Umuchima
Community, West LGA of Imo State when irate mob set him ablaze beyond
recognition.
An eye witness disclosed that luck ran out of the suspect whose
identity is yet to be ascertained when the victim a member of a three
man robbery gang attempted to steal a motorcycle from a commercial
motorcycle operator, otherwise known as Okada in the area.
It all started when a group of people in Arusi lodge located in the
community organized themselves to be checking every motorcycle that
passes in the area, because of the problems they have been passing
through. On that fateful day several motorcycles were checked but one
of them suspected to be a criminal refused to be checked.
During a heated argument, the three men on the motorcycle failed in
their attempt to escape as two of them managed to flee leaving behind
one of them with a bag containing a gun, an axe and other weapons
which were believed they use to carryout their operations.
Trumpeta reports that the suspected criminal was instantly given a
jungle justice when he was set ablaze by vigilante boys who quickly
arrived the scene when contacted.
