Confusion in Imo State, as three baby kidnappers were burnt alive

Jungle justice in Imo State

Again, another era of jungle justice as the security and the judiciary system of the society seem not to satisfy aggrieved parties in providing the needed security and justice.

Thus, three young fellows met their waterloo on Wednesday as they were set blazed alive by irate youths in Ezelu Okwe in Onuimo Local Government Area of Imo state for professedly kidnapping a recently born baby boy.

A source in the group said the accused met their waterloo when they compellingly took the infant from his mom and were gotten by the young people who gave them a hot pursue.

According to the source, “They kidnapped the baby boy and took to their heels immediately. The traumatised mother raised alarm immediately, which caught the attention of the youths around.

“The youths quickly intervened, caught the three of them and burnt them alive without wasting any time.”
As indicated by the source, the youths dispensed immediate justice on the affirmed child kidnappers in light of the fact that a comparative occurrence had occurred in the area few weeks ago, when ruffians had stolen a child from the mother.

The source said, “The youths were angered by the fact that a baby girl was stolen by suspected human traffickers in the community two weeks ago. So, when they caught these ones, they wasted no time in setting them ablaze.

“This is to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to engage in such inhuman act in future in the community.”


Thus, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a Deputy Superintendent of Police was contacted to confirm the scenario, the police said however that he had recently gotten the data, the points of interest of the episode were still scrappy, as he was anticipating full subtle elements from the LGA Divisional Police Officer as at the time of recording in this report.
