(GORY PICTURE!) MOB SNUFFS LIFE FROM A PHONE SNATCHTER IN CALABAR

A 26 year old man met his waterloo on Sunday morning at 4:30 am, when he came out for his purported regular business of snatching phones from early risers.

Passersby alleged that victims of the thief include business men, Morning Prayer goers, club patronisers and those exercising on the streets at wee hours of the morning.

They verified that his regular stand was at Marian by Goldie-Atu Round About for what he all along considered a lucrative business.

 According to our sources, on the fateful day, a man went out jogging along the Goldie axis and met the alleged thief, who ordered him to stop and surrender his handset and he complied.  As the jogger would have it, as soon as he surrendered the phone to the bandit, within a short walk after that, he met a group of people going for morning prayers, reported the matter and they all decided to get to the point of the round-about. Fortunately, the phone snatcher was sighted and apprehended. The crowd of residents from Atu, Uwanse and Goldie that trooped out from the neighborhood grabbed him and collected the phone from him after further alarm was raised.

On beating the boy, he started shouting “Odeshi” meaning nothing will happen. He also claimed that nobody can kill him with any weapon, which instigated the crowd to adopt more cruel measures of burning him with tyres, and to their amazement, he could not be burnt.

It was confirmed that the boy uses talisman in his operations as he boasted, “Kill me if you can, after-all my Odeshi is tested and trusted!”

After some time at about 6:25 am the jubilant resident of Atu, Uwanse, Goldie and Target were all rejoicing because the boy was identified as an alleged notorious criminal who takes charge of stealing people’s cars, radio’s, Batteries and even car tyres when they saw him dead on the ground. 

 This story happened precisely on the 23rd of August, 2015.
