4 Innocent Student Beaten Naked Humiliated,Lynched and Burned Alive-Nigeria


Four students of the University of Port Harcourt were killed in the most barbaric manner. It happened in the Rivers State’s Omuokiri village, Aluu, October 5, 2012. That incident shook the nation. The boys werez Tamuno-Itekenasam Elkanah, Ugonna Kelechi Obuzor, Lloyd Toku Mike and Chiadika Lordson Biringa. They were brutally murdered by a cheering crowd in a broad daylight. The manner of their death attracted public indignation and outright condemnation, both within and outside the country.

The students were said to have gone to the village to recover a debt, owed one of them. Another version of the story said the boys had gone to the village with dark intentions. The ‘debtor’, according to the first account, was said to have raised the alarm, which attracted the attention of members of a vigilance group. Members of the vigilance group allegedly arrested them, took them to the palace of the traditional ruler, Alhaji Hassan Welema, before they were paraded in the street n*ked. They were to be crudely tortured and then gruesomely murdered. Ironically, some policemen were allegedly part of the cheering number.

The four students, first sons of their respective parents, were said to be inseparable and brought together by fate. Two of them, Lloyd and Ugonna were already putting finishing touches to their music album, titled, “Heart of the City”, with a track, “Ain’t no love in the heart of the city,’’ before they were murdered.

One year after their murder, their parents, indeed, the whole word is still waiting for justice to be done. UNIPORT and Aluu community, too, are asking for justice. This is because of the bad image their murder created for the institution and Aluu community. The damage is unimaginable, according to both communities. For instance, after the incident, the impression created was that Aluu people are mindless murderers or that all Aluu citizens participated in the murderous act. And in an interview he once granted to Saturday Sun, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Joseph A. Ajienka, talked about how embarrassing it had been for the academic community.

Trial of accused persons

After the murder of the four students, some persons were arrested and arraigned in a court of law, while the case has been heard eight times – that is, between October 2012 and August 2013. It started in Port Harcourt Magistrate Court and is now at the High Court.

Bag Snatcher Lynched In Delta State-Nigeria

The young man in the ditch had a douse of mob action after being caught in the act of stealing. The incident happened Tuesday morning at Shell road, Sapele, Delta State. According to eyewitnesses, the man snatched a woman’s handbag in Ugbeyi, Sapele and sped off on his motorbike. Unfortunately for him, a soldier who saw him snatch the woman’s bag chased him down with someone’s Hilux but lost track of him.

Nemesis caught up with him when some people noticed he was holding an handbag but was without a passenger. He was approached, but he sped off and rode to a dead end. The youth in the area chased him into the bush, caught and battered him and threw him into a pit. Some members of the vigilante group went there to take the thief away but onlookers refused and told them they were waiting for the police arrival.

Although, when the police arrived at the scene, but they refused to take him away due to the way he was battered and left him at the mercy of the onlookers. After the police left, the soldiers were called in, and one of them confirmed the battered man was the guy he chased earlier with someone’s Hilux but mixed him because he wasn’t familiar with the route.

While he was being put into the trunk of the soldiers car, a girl in the crowd repeatedly shouted “He is my brother”. A soldier dashed off to her and flogged her with the fan-belt he was holding and beat her till she ran away. Onlookers chased and caught up with her, and handed her to the soldiers claiming she might be a spy. The owner of the bag was called and they were all taken to away by the soldiers.
