 A Missouri man launched an attack on his ex and her new boyfriend using a homemade flame thrower.  The unorthodox and unsettling attack occurred on June 13th at a home on Old County Road in Franklin County, Missouri.  On that evening, deputies were called to the home after Christopher Viehland entered a home occupied by his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend. Christopher was wielding a modified fire extinguisher that was filled with gasoline. The would-be weapon had the word "flame thrower" hand written on it. There is no evidence that the device was ever functional as a flame thrower.  Christopher did use it to douse his ex-girlfriend with gasoline. However, a scuffle between Christopher and her current boyfriend ensued. During the fight, Christopher struck the victim in the head with a flashlight, causing a laceration to his head.

CITIZENS HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN COMBATING INSECURITY- OYO POLICE COMMISSIONER. (PHOTO).


 Citizens have a role to play in combating insecurity


Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Olugbenga, has aptly identified a key challenge security agents face in combating bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists: citizens often witness suspicious activities but fail to report them.


The commissioner led journalists to a residential property in Araromi Quarters, Ayegun North, Oluyole Local Government Area, where kidnappers had held Busayo John-Paul—the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu—and her twin sons before the police rescued them. 


According to him, preliminary investigations revealed that the kidnappers had repeatedly used the location as a hideout, bringing abducted victims there while neighbouring residents chose to ignore the activities.


“They have been bringing the abductees here. They bring them here, and people see them. Some even greet them and say 'welcome.' When people see such things and don’t speak up, what do you expect us to do? If suspicious activities like this had been reported, none of this would have happened. We would have taken the necessary steps in good time,” the commissioner said.


My fellow Nigerians, security agents are not magicians—they need the support of citizens to fight all forms of crime. Whenever you notice anything unusual in your area, please make a discreet call to the security agencies
