A 21-year-old Undergraduate has been arrested for allegedly poisoning a well ostensibly to dissuade people from fetching water from there. The suspect, Ibrahim Abubakar, a 200 level Public Administration student of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU Zaria) was arrested by men of the Special Task Force, STF, maintaining security in the state after he allegedly poured a gallon of used engine oil into the well in the father’s compound in Dutse Uku area of Jos. It was learnt that the family were forced to abandon the house in the wake of the 2008 crisis in the state and he reportedly became aggrieved that those who forced them out of the area were now enjoying the well. He was said to have sneaked into the compound yesterday to contaminate the water to make it unusable for those fetching it but was caught by a lady who went there to fetch water. Her alarm was said to have attracted people from the area who almost lynched the suspect before soldiers on security duty in the area rescued him. Spokesman of the STF, Captain Charles Ekeocha who took newsmen to the compound said it was disturbing that someone would go to such an extent for revenge, especially an undergraduate who should know better. He said such acts were becoming rampant and would have resulted in more violence if not for the way the STF had been handling them adding, “but we have to come to the open with this as the practice is becoming more rampant; what worries us so much is the aspect that this act was perpetrated by a university graduate who is seen as a future leader.” He said the STF would hand the suspect over to the police for further investigations.

What da hell came upon him to do that? Is that how he wants to do his own public administration? Vengeance is for God...some people end up hurting themselves in d name of revenge

Crusify him, crusify him is not the best for this young gentle undergraduate. This is what we are preaching now to let these ABOKIS know the way of CHRIST. For this ABOKI in question for Poisoning A Well In Jos, stamping months or years of prison on him brings nothing.when he comes back from jail he will be worst because his ideas are still in him that needs to be change Let his radical believes be replaced BY WAY OF CHRIST. Meaning, let men of God sit him down and teach him and let him be sent to a correction center. Please Naija Pals send this to the Authorities handlling this issue. Adeba Obeh South West germany
