This Fuel thief luckily escaped from lynch mob in Port Harcourt
A suspected fuel thief on Monday escaped being lynched by an angry mob in Port Harcourt after he threatened to kill a teenager who caught him in the act.
The suspect, who identified himself as Kenneth Eze, had warned the teenager not to raise the alarm or risk being killed.
Punch Newsaper gathered that Eze had stolen the fuel from the Udi taxi park where a black marketer usually sold premium motor spirit (petrol) to commercial drivers.
The 17-year-old boy, who saw him from afar, had walked up to the fuel thief and asked him to take the loot back to the owner.
Rather than listen to the boy’s advice, Eze threatened that he was a member of a deadly cult group that would come after the teenager should anything happen to him (the suspect).
Not frightened by the suspect’s subtle and silent intimidation, the boy raised the alarm and a crowd gathered. The boy pointed at the 50 litres of petrol and accused Eze of stealing the item from the nearby taxi park.
“The man (Eze) thought he could intimidate me by saying he was a member of a deadly cult group. I noticed he was not armed and I decided to raise the alarm,” the boy, who would not mention his name, told Southern City News.
The mob pounced on Eze, even as he pleaded for mercy, promising to turn a new leaf.
Not moved by his plea, the mob attempted to set fire to the suspect but he fled from Udi Street in Mile One, Diobu, where he was caught to Ikwerre Road.
Earlier, the suspect had told Southern City News he actually attempted to steal the fuel, but added that it was his first time to be involved in such an act.
“I am a driver and I have never stolen before. I wanted to take the keg of fuel away, but had to hide by the side of a car there when I saw the police coming. It was temptation and this is my first time of involving in this. If I lie, may I never see tomorrow,” the suspect swore.
The owner of the stolen fuel later took away his property and thanked the boy for being smart enough to stop the thief.
Speaking with Southern City News, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, warned against anybody taking the law into his hands.

UK based killer cries out over plans to deport him to Nigeria after jail sentence
A killer has complained from jail that he will be deported to Nigeria, though he has never been to Africa.
Junior Bayode was 16 when he took part in the mob stabbing of Sofyen Belamouadden , 15, and was given 11 years for manslaughter in 2013.
According to Mirror UK,Bayode, now 22, blasted jail chiefs over the decision to deport him when he is due to be freed in 2019.
His mother is from Nigeria but he was born in Germany and came to the UK aged nine months.
He wrote to prisoners’ paper Inside Time from Moorland jail in Doncaster that he is “struggling to understand” why he is being deported. He added:
Bayode, of Streatham, South London, said the Home Office's “deport first, appeal later” policy was designed to hit migration targets “regardless of human rights”.

“I may not have been born here but all I know is the British way of life.Mr Belamouadden teen was chased by a gang of around 20 youths from a rival school and stabbed nine times in just 12 seconds in front of shocked commuters in Victoria Underground Station in central London in the attack two years ago.
Bayode, of Streatham, South London, said the Home Office's “deport first, appeal later” policy was designed to hit migration targets “regardless of human rights”.
He added:
“I have neither travelled nor been to any other country since I arrived in the UK over 20 years ago.
“My past, my present and my future is firmly rooted in British soil, hence why I am struggling to understand why I have been served with a deportation order to a country I have never been to - Nigeria.
"I was distraught when I read on the order that I can only appeal after my deportation."

Child abduction: More troubles for Davido over medical report
•Davido with his babymama Sophia
The last has not been heard of the child abduction saga between the family of popular singer, David Adeleke, (aka Davido) and Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation magazine, as the former, yesterday, released a pathology report showing that the mother of his child, Sophia Momodu, tested positive to cannabis.
The artiste uploaded a scanned copy of the purported medical report from Clina-Lancet Laboratories on Instagram, sparking fresh rounds of reactions from followers.
Last week, the news media was awash with tales of how the musician’s family had talked Sophia into releasing her breast-sucking child, Imade, for medical examinations, but later suspected she had been tricked, as plans to fly the child out of the country was aborted by immigration at the airport.
Sophia’s lawyer had filed a petition against the Adeleke family for alleged abduction of the child, accusing the singer of planning to travel to the United States with the baby without her mother’s consent. The petition was addressed to the Director General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
Perhaps to prove that his family’s intend was indeed for medical reasons, Davido came out with Sophia’s medical report. The medical report has a footnote which reads; “Sophia’s test that shows for cannabis aka Indian hemp or marijuana which she passed to the baby through breast milk or as second hand smoke.”
But some of the fans who reacted to the post felt that if there was any medical report of the baby with trace of the drug, that could have been more appropriate for the singer’s claim.
In the same vein, spokesperson of the Momodu family, Dele Momodu, is of the view that the medical report does not hold water. Speaking toThe Nation, he said that since the case has been taken to court, he is constraint to say much.
“Sebi he sent you report. Do you know what the other people have? If you go to court for example, you will have your own documents; the other people will have their own document so there is no hurry. If they’ve invited both parties, when we get there, we will see the documents. When we get there, we will see whether they are false. I’m not allowed to speak on it. The lawyers are already involved,” he said.
On whether they will be pressing fresh charges, Momodu said: “I don’t know what the lawyers will decide. That is why I can’t comment on the issue. The Adelekes are free to do whatever they want. I think what they are trying to do is to justify what they did but once they were accosted at the airport, it was no longer within my control.”
Sophia Momodu’s lawyer, Gbolaga Ajayi, has also insinuated that the medical report circulating on the internet is a suspicious document.
Speaking with The Nation, Ajayi said; “we are seeing that report for the first time, therefore it is hard for us to verify its genuineness. In Nigeria, people fabricate documents from everywhere. So that document itself is suspicious to us because the lady involved, our client, has never been given that medical report before. Curiously, no competent medical laboratory will give your report to a third party without giving you at least a copy.”
Ajayi however said that if indeed the report is correct, the public circulation is a violation of his client’s privacy. “We know the meaning of that in the law. The legal implication is very grave. It is very grave both on the part of the party that did it and the party that solicited for it. Three, there is no place in that report that I’ve seen thus far where any issue of cannabis use by our client having effect on the baby was mentioned,” he added.
There are indications that, going by the incident of the purported medical report, Davido might face a separate suit bothering on the civil right of Sophia. “It is an abuse and rape of somebody’s right to privacy. It is a constitutional issue. Our reaction to it will be in line with what the civil law demands,” Ajayi stated.
There is no gainsaying that the issue of marriage between Davido and Sophia is not in the equation, but what many are concerned about his the attempt to forcefully separate mother and child in a controversial manner.
Davido has said that Sophia’s pregnancy came as an accident, as he was not ready to be a father yet.
According to him, “when the second trimester of Sophia’s pregnancy was closing, she announced that she was in the family way. My mind was bemused, and so was my soul confused. But I quickly realised that nothing more could be done to alter my status as a father-to-be. I knew that I was not ready to be a dad. Still, I adjusted myself to the realities of my new situation and the consequences of my past personal indiscretions. I made the determination that I was going to be a good dad. I also reasoned that my blunder is not enough pretext to make me a husband. I was just 21. And so I decided to be a responsible dad without being husband to the mother of my baby. I never was in love with Sophia neither was marriage ever in the offing,” he posted alongside the photograph.
