Luck ran out of two men suspected to be ritual killers last Tuesday, in Owerri, when commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as "Inaga" pounced on them and burnt them to ashes.
The incident, which happened at Aladinma area of Owerri started when a loud noise suspected to be that of a woman came out from the boot of an Opel Omega car and attracted an inaga man who alerted his colleagues and then a chase ensued.
As if they knew what would happen to them, the occupants of the vehicle sped off in a bid to escape from their pursuers. But luck ran out of them when their vehicle had a head on collision with an on-coming vehicle and their journey of many years came to a halt.
On catching up with them, the angry mob which had now gathered with the motorcyclists discovered that in the boot was a woman and her child . They carefully brought out mother and child from the boot, took some fuel from the vehicle and set the suspected ritual killers ablaze.
It is worthy of note that in spite of the great war being waged by both the Government and people of Imo State against ritual killers and kidnappers, their activities have continued unabated. A few days ago, men who kidnapped the child of a top Government functionary in the state were arrested when they came to withdraw a ransom of N1 Million from a bank where the said sum was paid in.
