Three
young men were on Wednesday set ablaze by angry youths in Ezelu Okwe in the
Onuimo Local Government Area of Imo State for allegedly abducting a newborn
baby boy. A source in the community said the suspected
kidnappers met their Waterloo when they forcefully took the baby from the
mother and were caught by youths who gave them a hot chase.
He
said, “They kidnapped the baby boy and took to their heels immediately. The
traumatised mother raised the alarm immediately, which caught the attention of
some youths around. The youths quickly intervened, caught the three of them and
burnt them alive.”
According
to the source, the youths meted out jungle justice to the alleged kidnappers
because a similar incident had taken place in the community penultimate week
when kidnappers stole a baby from the mother.
“The
youths were angered by the fact that a baby girl was stolen in the community
two weeks ago. They wanted the killing of the kidnappers to serve as a
deterrent to others,” he added.
The
Police Public Relations Officer, in the state, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police, said he was awaiting full details from the LGA
Divisional Police Officer as of the time of filling this report.
