THREE UNIVERSITY STUDENT IN NIGERIA BURNT ALIVE, ACCUSED OF STEALING PHONES AND LAPTOPS

Three University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) students in their EARLY 20s, were today, burnt alive by Aluu Villagers in Rivers state, for allegedly s

tealing phones and laptops in an off-campus hostel of the University. 

The Locals decided to take the law into their hands, as some said that it will be a waste of time calling the Police. On arresting the unarmed students, they brutalised them, before the traditional ritual of putting tire on their neck and setting them ablaze.

Mweeh kumbe Nigeria nao wanamtindo wa kuchoma wezi moto? kweli uchumi umekua mgumu kila sehemu aisee, A crime is a Crime, but is these phones and Laptops enough for these young men’s lives to be wasted in this manner? uuwwiiiiii...

THESE BOYS WERE WRONGLY ACCUSED


WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WAS....
Contrary to different versions of what lead to the grusome murder of the four Engineering students of the University, the truth about their death has just emerged.

As it is a general saying, the dead does not have opinion or give statement to the Police. In this case their killers, the Monsterous Aluu Community in Rivers state and their adversories (their debtor and cult members) , choose to tell the world the offence of their victims.Immediately after the UNIPORT4 were murdered, they were accused of being Cult Members and when that allegation seems not adding up or not enough for such type of slow and horrofic death, they again accused of stealing Mobile phones and Laptop computers.

Close friends and school mates of the victims has given a comprehensive version of what lead to killing of their school mates.

It was gathered from the source that Ugo and Lloyd were cousins. An indigene of Aluu owed Ugo some money and had vowed not to pay back. Ugo who was popularly known as Tipsy had gone to meet with a fearless University guy (name-withheld) to help them track the debtor who had been on the run. ‘Mr Fearless guy’ who was feared by many in the school had accepted to accompany his friends to get the debtor tracked down in exchange for a percentage of the debt. They were joined by their room-mate, Chidiaka. On their way to the place, they met one of their friends, Tekena, who knew nothing about the plan, and he joined, just for the hype as is normal with young boys of juvenile age.

That made 5 boys; Ugo, Lloyd, Chidiaka, Tekena and ‘Mr Fearless Guy’ that got to the debtor’s compound. Unknown to the other four, ‘Mr Fearless Guy’ who was contracted to intimidate the debtor just to get the money paid, went with a gun .When they got to the debtor’s house around 12am, a fight ensued, as the debtor confronted them. A next door neighbour, a woman started shouting on top of her voice, that they were thieves, attracting other bad boys around the area, whom were mainly “vikings”,the rival cult group of the one on contract. They swung into action by tipping the vigilante who confronted the boys, referring to them as thieves. In the process of beating the boys, while they were trying to prove their innocence, the fifth boy, ‘ Mr Fearless Guy’, the cultist brought out his gun to scare the people, and he escaped, leaving the rest four at the mercy of the villagers.

The explanation they tried to give fell on the community’s deaf ears as the people insisted they must be killed.

Another close friend of Ugo and Lloyd had reacted by calling on the president to take action against those behind the murder of the four students. The young man who pleaded that his identity be kept secret said: “Mr President, those 4 boys who were killed at Aluu near Uniport were my young friends. I was their mentor. Two of them were promising rappers and singers. I am forwarding their work ironically titled “Ain’t No Love in the City.”

The relatives of the victims have collected their bodies and three of them are already buried.
