The Inspector General of police, Mohammed Abubakar, said today that the
four UNIPORT students lynched by a mob in Aluu on 5th October, were not
armed robbers.
In a statement released by the IGP today, he said investigations
conducted by the police so far revealed that Tekena, Llyod, Ugonna and
Chiadika had gone
to Aluu that morning to demand for money
allegedly owed to them by a guy named Coxson Lelebori Lucky, also known
‘Bright’, and it was Bright who
raised a false alarm that they were armed robbers. And you all know
what happened next..they were all brutally killed.
The IGP also said in the statement that Coxson/Bright has disappeared,
but promised to track him down. The statement mentioned 4
suspects as being directly involved in the killing. They are: Chigozie
Samuel Evans, Felemo Solomon, Cynthia Chinwo, and Ozioma Abajuo. They
said the Aluu community chief, Alhaji Hassan Welewa was the one who
incited the mob
to unleash terror on the young boys.
May their beautiful souls rest in peace. Still can't believe this happened.
