A student of University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) was allegedly caught at one of the school’s popular off-campus, hilltop, with a 4 years old boy whom he planned to use for ritual.
The young boy was reported to be at the point of joining his ancestors when his rescuers intervened.
The assailant pleaded to transfer the sum of 5 million naira to the hilltop boys who caught him in the act so they can free him but they declined his offer.
It was reported that, the hilltop boys proceeded to a near by bush to carry out a jungle justice on the assailant by killing him. But unluckily for them, some police officers intervened and left with the assailant.
An eyewitness on Facebook, by name Ordained Oracle has threatened to release the video containing the faces of the assailant and the police officers who took him away to the media houses, if further investigations and proper penalization are not taken.
