An armed man said to belong to a cult group in Owerri, Imo State,
narrowly escaped lynching Tuesday by an angry mob at Alvan Guest House,
Amakohia, Owerri. It was gathered that six alleged armed cultists
stormed BET NAIJA house which was also a sports viewing center, and made
away with two laptops. They also attacked a young man, who tried to
stop them.
According to Ifeanyi Njoku, the suspects hit the victim's head with a gun before fleeing.
However, one of them was caught and was nearly burnt to death, but for the intervention of Civil Defense officials and armed policemen, who arrived the scene and took the suspect away.
