Like
a drama of Golgotha... They chanted kill him kill him and to make real
their threat they gave him a hot chase to the extent that the escaping
suspect nearly rammed into Prince Eze Madumere, the Deputy Governor of
Imo State's convoy in the high browse area of Asokoro yesterday evening.
Suspecting
he was a kidnapper with all the chase and when the man at the center of
all the brouhaha was finally forced to pull over his matrix car with
dark tinted glass with Prince Madumere's convoy also caught in the cross
fire. It was a spontaneous traffic gridlock as confusion became the
only certain normal caused by irate commuters and motorists who were
involved in the chase.
Stepping out from his vehicle, he
quickly intervened with his aides suspected to be secret agents. The
suspect already receiving punches, kicks, slaps and reaching for all
manner of weapons to be tried on him. He cut in: "I am the Deputy
Governor of Imo State, please do not beat him again." Surprised by this
charge, there was a spontaneous retreat. Prince Madumere then accused
the suspect of having done something heinous and that if it were not so,
he would not have been driving dangerously while he was being hot
chased.
He quickly reached out for the nearest police officers
who yielded to take him to Asokoro police station. Imo Deputy Governor
in a bid to ensure that the right things were done joined them to the
police station where the suspect who identified his name as Victor
Ndubuisi was formally handed over.
Speaking to the DPO, Imo
Deputy Governor said: " I do not think the young man is too clean by the
contradictions in his statement. I had thought he was even a kidnapper.
I believe without intervention as this, the angry youth were ready to
kill him. I blame him. He should not have run if it were a mere case of
mis understanding. He could have as well died for a mere sundry matter.
All I plead is for you to do is to investigate the the matter by going
back to the place where the incident took place. If it is an issue that
could be handled, resolve it and let him go. Please try to get back to
me. " he reached for his complimentary cards and handed them to the DPO
and two other senior police officers.
Recalling that Imo Deputy
Governor recently demonstrated the same thing in his State, Imo, where
he settled a driver of a fuel laden tanker with the men of Nigeria
Security and Civil Defense Corps.
Meanwhile the media especially
the new media had been inundated with gory photos and videos of a young
man who was recently hacked down and burnt to death over an alleged
pilfering. This has brought so much condemnation against jungle justice.
Who knows, the same fate could have been served for the Victor Nnamdi.
Again, it was applause for Madumere from those who stopped by to find out what happened.
