A group of outlaws suspected to be land-grabbers have taken the law
into their hands in a recent crime that was perpetrated during the
weekend at Umudioka, Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra state.
According to the Vanguard, the suspected land-grabbers invaded a
prayer ground in Governor Willie Obiano's State where they mercilessly
beat one Kenechukwu Nebeolisa and his prayer counterparts for reportedly
invoking the 'anger of God' against them.
Nebeolisa had allegedly invited the prayer warriors to the
community to ward off all manner of evils, including land grabbing,
intimidation and harassment, robbery and thug activities being
perpetrated by the youths which has given the community a bad name.
It was gathered that in the wee hours of the vigil by Nebeolisa and
the prayer warriors, some armed youths believed to be behind the vices
stormed the prayer ground and beat everybody there to pulp, for invoking
God’s wrath against them.
Narrating his ordeal in the hands of the youths, Nnebolisa said,
“they said I did not take permission from them before inviting the
prayer warriors that cursed them that that as those in charge of the
Youths in Ezi-Awka I must take permission from them.
“Those youths have been going about extorting money, beating up
people and taking over their land, the last time they met me at Aguoye
hills, the beat hell out of me, I reported the case to the Chairman and
the Secretary, respectively of Ezi-Awka Youth Assembly and also to the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees for necessary action.
The involvement of the police in the disturbing stroy couldn't be ascertained as at press time.
