Two suspected thieves
barely escaped being death after they were rescued by the transition chairman
of Ehime Mbano LGA, Hon Chike Orjiako.
The thieves were beaten
to like hell before and later rescued after the angry mob where about to burn
them According to Kingsley Chukwu, it took the timely intervention of the
transition chairman of Ehime Mbano LGA, Hon Chike Orjiako, for these
alleged thieves to escape the fury of an angry mob at Alaojii Aba branch of the
LGA in Imo state - after efforts by police proved abortive.
Reports by a witness
revealed that the alleged machine thieves were chased by commercial
motorcyclists from Oriagu market and nature caught up with them at Aba branch.
The thieves were brutally beaten to coma and about to be set ablaze when the
police arrived.
The mob threatened to
attack and burn their vehicle. However, when their efforts were aborted by the
brazenly angry mob, the police withdrew.
When the information
got to the T.C chairman of Ehime Mbano, he forthwith moved to the venue. It was
only by God's grace that he was able to talk to the war-ready youths and they
stayed action. When he needed support to evacuate the victims out of the
location before the youth changed their mind, the police were no where to be
found because they didn't want to risk going there again.
However, the prompt
call put across to the commissioner of police by Hon Chike was the only thing
that brought the police back.
Meanwhile, the victims
were assumed dead until revived by a doctor, they are presently recuperating
pending when the wrath of the law will be unleashed on them.
