“They were reported to have taken the woman and raped her one after the other, after which they murdered her for no reason whatsoever.

“Luckily two of them were caught but one of them, 18 years old Francis who was the first to be caught confessed and narrated that the three of them raped the woman after which they strangled her.

“The angry youths of the community and passers-by who were dumbfounded by the action of the teenagers, descended on him and lynched him before the police arrived the scene.

“But the second suspect that was caught by the mob was lucky, he was snatched away by the police before they meted jungle justice on him.

“Already, the manhunt for the third member of the gang is on and the police have promised to get him.

“The incident has thrown the entire community into confusion as angry youths have vowed to fish out all the bad boys in the area and hand them over to the police, but most of them are already fleeing from the community.”

Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent, SP, Catherine Anene said she was yet to receive details of he incident.
