A female undergraduate, simply identified as Chisom
from one of the tertiary institutions in Imo State was last weekend strippéd nakéd for stealing a
Blackberry phone in a very popular night club located in the city of Owerri.
According to an eye witness account, Chisom had
removed the phone from the bag of another fun seeker in the club, but luck ran
out of her as she made frantic effort to switch it off.
It was gathered that the owner of the phone put a call
through her line using the phone of another friend after searching for hers,
and heard it ringing inside Chisom’s bag.
The people in the club wasted no time to descend on
the suspect , beating her black and blue before strípping her skímpy clothe off
her.
According to our source, It took the efforts of the
guard at the night club to save Chisom from being lynched to death, as she was
taken into one of the rooms in the club to change her clothes.
Altough it could not be ascertained as the time of
this report if she was handed over to the police for further investigation as
all efforts to reach the divisional police officer in that area proved abortive.
Who told anyone that the punishment for stealing was death? Stripping her I can understand; now she's humiliated and everyone knows her as a thief! Killing her is excuse the pun OVERKILL! The message needs to get out to these vigilante mobs that they go from punishment to murder over trifling items not worth anyone's life! She was stripped publicly and thrashed! That is enough! Murder does not fit the crime! Those who plot murder in these instances need to have their life forefeit for no one's life is worth a computer or a cell phone! Let's get it together now and not give murderers an excuse to committ heinous atrocities in our country!
