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.
