Suspected cultists have brutalised a young man identified as Unachukwu Chinedu in Abatete, Idemili North, Anambra state
IGBERE TV gathered that Mr Chinedu from Ogbu village in Abatete who works locally as artisan in the community was lured by the suspected cultists identified as Kenechukwu Enyokwa, Ifeanyi Enyokwa and Onyeka Enyokwa.
Speaking with IGBERE TV correspondent, a resident of the area who craved anonymity said “on that fateful day around early December 2021 Chinedu followed the 3 brothers as they invited him to see a job, hoping he was about to earn some money.”
“Incidentally the tune of the music changed as they got to a bush path where they started to beat him as they were joined by a group of thugs they organised and whose identity are still unknown.”
“While they beat him with 2×2 timber they also made a video of the devilish act, according to them his offence was that he insulted their father, Mr Anthony Enyokwa popularly called Oku, the allegation was that their father was insulted by Chinedu at a village meeting which Chinedu vehemently denied doing, though his denial of the of the act didn’t stop them , they continued beating him, robbed him of his phone and some undisclosed cash amount he had with him at the time. Chinedu managed to escape for his life on that fateful day.”
“However the recorded video leaked as the gang shared it amongst their friends.”
“The Ogbu village chairman, Mr Chekwubechukwu Morah who apparently was the one who took Chinedu to the hospital for treatments after the encounter has not been able to do much since the people involved are viewed as notorious and somewhat untouchable.”
“The President General of the community, Chief Law Okoye is aware of the case. The traditional ruler himself, Igwe Engr Emeka Efobi according to our source is also aware of what is going on though he resides in the United States and no actions has been impacted from his end.”
“The police have not been able to do anything as well despite several reports of threats of Chinedu’s life by the gang.”
“The case was also reported at the state CID according to our source.”
“He has since escaped to an unknown destination for safety, though he’s still very apprehensive.”
