A man met his untimely end at the hands of angry villagers in
Umuoji area of Anambra state. The deceased identified as
Paschal Chinazor Onyilo, who was a sound/music operator and
even worked for the Anambra government, was alleged to be a
kidnapper and was beaten to pulp before he finally gave up the
ghost.
It was gathered that last week, Paschal Onyilo, a native of
Abatete in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State, was driving to
Obosi area to set up his sound equipment for an event.
However on getting to Umuoji, some school children threw
stones at his vehicle and caused some damage. He then
alighted from the vehicle to accost the kids over the damage.
All of them ran away except one boy who was caught by
Paschal.
It was learnt that Paschal held the boy and requested that he
should take him to his parents as he drove him in his car.
Meanwhile the other children who had escaped - raised an
alarm that a certain man had ‘kidnapped’ one of them.
The villagers quickly mobilized themselves, came back and
confronted Paschal. They didn’t give him a chance to explain
himself and pounced on him immediately beating mercilessly.
His car was also set on fire before he was rescued by the
police.
The villagers who saw some political stickers in his car -
accused him of being a kidnapper who works for politicians in
the state and was looking for children to use for rituals.
By the time help came, Paschal was already unconscious and
he was taken to Iyi-Enu Hospital, Ogidi. He did survive an
emergency surgery and was able to narrate what happened to
the police and others that visited him in hospital.
Unfortunately, Paschal gave up the ghost days later from the
injuries sustained from the mob action.
