It's gruesome, it is sad and it shouldn't be happening.
Four young men cut down at the prime of their lives.
Since this video hit the web on Friday, speculations and different eye witness accounts have been popping up.
what we do know for certain is that these boys were in their 20's and at least 2 of them were students of the University of Port-Harcourt in Rivers-state.
The popular story is that they stole a laptop and a blackberry phone. When did such paltry possessions be a reason to take a life, talk less of four. Another story was that these boys were responsible for the armed robbery attacks one of such took the life of a family man after sexually molesting his daughter in front of him.
We were informed that they confessed to all accusations but lets face it people, after all the torture WHO WOULDN'T? Even if only to get a temporary respite.
Another story is now circulating and this is a lot more credible.
The Students involved were Cultists, it is a known fact that part of the initiation cermony of the cult is to rob, it just so happens that they were caught. Some Uniport students claim that information of the said raid was leaked by a rival cult. The village of Aluu, and Ikwere locale in River state is known for its zero tolerance level for thieves and have always practiced their jungle justice, even amongst their indigenes.
The rest of the story is straight forward. Five boys or should I say young men went on a mission. An alarm was raised when they tried to leave. One escaped and the
remaining 4 were caught with Weapons.
The rest, as they say ... is history.
UniPort students have been trying to rally others to fight, the police claim they don't know the perpetuators of the crime and the governor is enraged.
apparently, this week is going to be bloody. Plans for revenge have reached a peak and students are being advised to leave the village lest they be caught in the cross fire. This may just turn out to be war.
