Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday in Owerri, the state capital rescued a middle aged woman from being lynched when, under the cover of sit-at-home order issued by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MOSSOB), attempted to steal in her neighbourhood.

The unidentified woman rescued by the governor at the Christ Church Road, Owerri took advantage of the MOSSOB directive to shop-lift but unknown to her the shop owner was inside with some of her goods outside.

The shop owner however, did not know what was happening until a neighbour drew her attention by asking her whether the person carrying cartons of drinks from her shop had paid for them.

According to an eye witness, it was then that the shop owner, who had been sitting inside the shop out of fear for MOSSOB, then came out and raised the alarm, which drew the attention of the neighbours and passersby, who rushed to lynch the woman before Okorocha’s entourage arrived.

It was gathered that after narrating the story, the governor appealed to the shop owner and the mob to forgive the thief and instantly paid the woman whose shop was lifted the sum of N100,000 and offered to start a business for the thief.

Those are little things that go a long way.
I doubt the relatives of the their, shop owner or the community would forget this action.
And the governor seems to genuinely enjoy philanthropy.

So when internet warriors were shouting "the sit at home was a huge success" they were actually foooling themselves?
Traders were in their shops doing biz codedly.

As per the female shoplifter,thank God for Rochas. Her own for don enter "once upon a time. . ."

A 21yr old Igbo woman with four kids left Delta to Abuja and then to Lagos in pursuit of raising money to start business and Okorocha has not helped her but he put "amnesty money" out for a thief to start business.

Garri want amnesty....

Much as I admire Rochas, I feel it is time he's reminded that the governor of a state is expected to be less impulsive than Don Jazzy, who hands over 100K on whim.

Okorocha gives N.2m to driver that hit him

It's faith bro....

Nothing is impossible for my God to do..



Luke 17:6 - And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.



Praise the Lord!!!!

I love ur faith bro! Hope this faith does not lead you to a brutal fate. Oshodi boyz no know luke 17:6. Anyway, our God is a miracle wonder God. You can meet yuzedo to take you to banana island sha. Luke 17:6 will work there.

Kudos to Okorocha

When will lynching stop in this country for Pete's sake??!!!??

All it takes to meet your Maker is for your enemy to shout 'thief' 'thief' and point in your direction.

I thought Fashola has helped her? She didn't run to Imo State na!

Shop-lifting may not be bad afterall. I'm going to Aluu village to farm-lift cocoayam and hope the rescues me with money to start my own website

Why should a vigilante group hold me to ransom in my city?


What happened to freedom of movement under human right act?


Educated people from igbo communities should speak against this archaic act.


Yes, MASSOB wants a sovereign nation but going about it this way doesn't make them any different from the already sovereign state they are part of.


Why can't they lobby UN, form alliances with other countries to put pressure on Nigeria for a breakaway, lobby their Senators and Reps to call for a national conference instead of wanting to lynch a fellow Biafran for going about her business?

Hmmmmm

Thanks, but no thanks..

Yuzedo is a relentless booty poacher.. Always in quest of damsels with "bull-dozer" hips and "bazooka" manchesters.....

Dude aint gonna give a damn about a brother's plight....
