No fewer than three men have been lynched by angry residents of Umuohiagu, Imo State for alleged vandalization of electricity transformers on Thursday.
They were caught while attempting to vandalize the only remaining transformer in the community after already succeeding in vandalizing eight other transformers in the past three months and effectively throwing the village into darkness.
Two of the suspects identified as Ifeanyi Mgbakabala and Kelechi Eke were beaten and later handed over to Nigeria Airforce personnel, but they later died.
The other suspect escaped to nearby Egbelu Obube community where he was reportedly set ablaze by the youths of the village.
