There has been several stories regarding some gruesome pictures that emerged on the internet yesterday, most of these stories were half baked and this is what truly happened. The name of the victims are : Ugonna, Ilyod, Tekana and Chidiaka and the incident happened in Aluu community, a poor local community that has be ceaselessly tormented by daredevil armed robbers, these robbers kill whenever they find nothing to steal and in a more recent case, they killed a family man and molestd his daughter before them.
Unable to get help from the government, the community decided to setup a vigilante group to curb the menace - The full story of the bit that led to the death of the four students can be found by an eye witness, a member of the Aluu community and she said:
Gosh! So because the criminals that were killed in PH today were cute, people are calling it injustice…Smh… Nigerians sha”
The students were no phone or laptop thieves, as claimed in earlier reports, they infact confessed to some of the killings and previous robbery incidences (although this could be as a result of excess torture)
I hope this helps the police in their investigations. The governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi has reportedly ordered the immediate arrest of the killers of the students.
What baffles me is that this act was carried out in broad day light and in the midst of so many people. Were the boys’ sins so grievous that no one could stop the men who were beating them up?
I think not just the state governor, but the President has to intervene in this case. Despite what they might have done, this sort of jungle justice, beating young men to death on the streets in the midst of everyone including children just doesn’t sound right.
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you

Ha!! When will this jungle justice stop? But my thing is, this governor Rotimi Amaechi, why did he wait for the issue to escalate to this point before he started making arrests? When the community was being terrorized and harassed all the while, did it not occur to him to send policemen to help sort the issue out. We Nigerians always like learning things the hard way. Shame!!

U all that wrote crapps here are all STUPID including the poster !!!!! If it were to be any of your parents these five mobs had killed or raped ,i'm sure none of you guys will be here mentioning anything about street justice . The community didn't get help from the goverment by deploying police in the area ,these people organised vigilante group and im sure they pay them monthly for their services and of course for their own security . Where was the Goverment when the guys were commiting crimes in the community ? I beggyy street justice was the right thing to do to these guys !!!!!

The Students involved are Cultists, They went to Attack Someone, they were about 5 in number, , so on their way out, A girl saw them and screamed, these alerted people and they attacked them.. One of them escaped and the remaining 4 were caught with Weapons and beaten by a man , Hitting them Mercilessly and bringing them to a slow and painful death.. The man later Got Fuel and poured it in their mouth and lit it., Burning one student!, The man was stopped with the arrival of the police so he couldn't burn the rest, they were later taken to the mortuary where the families of the deceased Came to claim the corpse... Here is another story about the unlawful act..
