Wahala..3 Burnt Alive For Kidnapping Newborn

"Jungle Justice" was metted on three young men in Ezelu Okwe in Onuimo Local Government Area of Imo state, where they were burnt alive for allegedly abducting a new born baby from the mother.

A source in the community said the suspects met their waterloo when they forcefully took the baby from his mother and were caught by the youths who gave them a hot chase.

The source said, “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.”

According to the source, the youths meted out instant justice on the alleged kidnappers because a similar incident had taken place in the community a fortnight before, when kidnappers had stolen a baby 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.”
