A mob lynched an alleged leader of the proscribed Eastern Security Network (ESN) on Monday while trying to enforce a sit-at-home order alongside his gang members.

Commissioner of Police in Imo, Mr Rabiu Hussaini, confirmed the incident in a press statement signed by the police spokesman, CSP Mike Abattam.

He stated that before police patrol team could arrive at the scene, the ESN member had been lynched, while his gang members fled.

He added that Hussaini had directed that the lynching suspects must be handed over to the police for proper investigation.

In the press statement, Abattam said residents of Umuagbavo Oru Ahiara in Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo came out of their houses and were going about their lawful businesses.

“Suddenly, one Obinwanne Iwu, 34 years, a native of Ahiara in the same local government area who is an escapee of Imo Correctional Centre, Owerri, went to the market with his gang trying to enforce a sit-at-home order of the proscribed IPOB/ESN terror group.

“They were shouting at the top of their voices that `today is Monday and everybody must obey the sit at home order’ ‘’ he said.

He added that the harassment did not go down well with the people who resisted the gang.

He said the angry mob in their numbers held Iwu, tied his hands behind his back while others fled the scene.

In the process, the suspect was mercilessly beaten to death before the police patrol team arrived at the scene.

“Efforts made by the police patrol team to arrest the perpetrators proved abortive as they all fled the scene on sighting the patrol team,’’ Abattam stated.

Igbo civilian JTF on the way

Nonpartisan1:


Like I predicted at onset of this IPOB Talibans Of Igbo Land madness. That very soon, real and sane Igbos would start killing these terrorists. I didn't know it would be this soon.

Like Boko Haram, the Igbos would soon form Civilian JTF against these Talibans and start taking them off the streets.

Next Monday, I expect more violent reactions from the people down East.

Ipob miscreants, your time is up!

Laughable.

Whenever I remember the days of the imaginary TRIPOB and REPOB that were created by Lai Mohammed and DSS to counter IPOB, I ask myself, if this Buhari APC Nigeria Government cannot successfully run an ordinary propaganda to be believable, how can they know to actually rule people and fix the mess they created?

We are not even talking of economy, security or anything. How can a person who cannot tell an ordinary lie to sound believable be left with the finances of 200 million people with unlimited access to our information database?

Very worrying.

OyigboUpdate:


But are u guys not ashamed of this complaint. U should be happy that this DSS spoiling your names by scattering goods and killing people for sit at home has been killed.

skyler11:

Who is "u guys"? Efulefu.

With your anya okporoko you have taken psychophancy and asslicking to a whole new level because Buhari is paying you 30,000 naira per month.

Think about your life.

When all this ends, Hope Uzodimma and his fellow Igbo traitors will likely board a private jet and seek asylum somewhere else comformtably with the money they're currently looting from government house.


How will you cope with all these lies you are telling against Igbos? Do you think they will keep space for you in their private jet? Will you follow Buhari to Katsina (if bandits have not started a full-blown war over there)? Think about your life cos you're on a journey to uselessness.

SIRRITE:
FAKE NEWS AS USUAL WILL ALWAYS COMES OUT FROM THE MOUTH OF THOSE USELESS IPOB

OyigboUpdate:


I must get the graphic videos and pictures tomorrow trust me
I always bring exclusive graphic content about IPOB you wouldn't see anywhere

OyigboUpdate:


Oga go sitdon for gutter.

You guys are the most un strategic terrorists group. I know how u guys attack me some even accused me of killing Igbos by sending DSS to enforce the canceled sit at home. Now that this so called DSS has been killed you guys are still complaining.

Mind u I have never posted any thing against Igbos since I joined this forum. And will never. So just gerrarahia with your pity party emotional blackmail

skyler11:

You're just an uneducated Turkey deportee who live by government peanut handouts so I wouldn't exchange words with you, rather I feel pity when I see you.

But then answer these questions inside your heart:

Is there any modern house in your father's compound?
What have you achieved since you were employed to write propaganda against your people?

I hope it's not too late to think about your future.

OyigboUpdate:


Oga gerrarahia and stop mentioning me. Stop shifting goal post. Stop sounding like your a fool pls

The DSS spoiling your name has been killed what are u still ranting na

FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmm.
In my opinion, I believe they should have handed him over to the police, I don't think they should lynch anyone abegi. We already have enough violence and what we pray for is peace and prosperity in Nigeria .
May God bless Imo state.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

ablejesus26:
They should not let the devil use ipob to bring problems into the land biko kwa oo�.
Why not hand him over to the police.
It's an abomination to shed the Blood of your brother on the Land.
Ipob will not prosper in thier devilish agenda to turn Igboland into what the Ne is suffering from �
