Phone Thief Nearly Lynched In Nnewi

 

The saying that every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner of the house came true today, Wednesday 23 June 2021, at a Pharmacy Shop near the Head Office of Ifeanyi Ubah Football Club House, along Nnobi Road. A 28 years old man who identified himself as Godwin David (most probably a fake name) was caught red-handed stealing a phone.

According to an eyewitness who didn’t want his name online told MuchTalksBlog that the accused went to the Pharmacy Shop under the pretext of going for treatment and sighted a phone belonging to a patient who was being treated inside.

He took the smartphone and was about to slip away but was caught by the vigilant eyes of the Sales Girl who was an alarm.

He was stopped by other patients and neighboring shop owners. They searched him and the phone was found on him. They descended on him and begin to beat him.

But for the quick interventions of some good Samaritans, Mr. Godwin David would have been in the land of the dead. He however received some good beatings which left him with a broken skull.

He was handed over to the police.
