Enugu state police command has said that it has launched investigation into the mob attack and subsequent setting ablaze of two persons in Ede-Oballa Nsukka, Enugu state on Monday morning.
The Police Public Relations Officer Mr. Daniel Ndukwe in his newest on the incident urged members of the public to remain calm as the investigation is on.
Explaining further he wrote;”investigation has been launched to fish out those responsible for the alleged mobbing and setting ablaze of one Agbo Dera (m) and Ifeanyi Ugwu (m), at Ede-Oballa Nsukka, in the morning hours of today, 04/07/2022, on the allegation of the duo being responsible for the murder of one little miss Eze Nkemdirim aged 10, for ritual purposes.
“Preliminary investigation shows that the victim was initially reported missing on 28/07/2022 at about 1pm, but her decomposing body found in a bush in the community on 02/07/2022, which led to the action of the irate mob.
“Meanwhile, members of the community have once again been called upon to keep supporting the Police to properly investigate and set the ground for the dispensation of justice in criminal cases, rather than resort to self-help of this nature, which attracts dire legal consequences. Further development will be communicated, please.”
