Hoodlums beat up chief priest in Enugu over allegations of theft (photo) - Edoman - 03-15-2021 They tied me like a common criminal''- Hoodlums beat up chief priest in Enugu over allegations of theft (photo) The Chief Priest of Omaba Adoro Ero, in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State, Ozoemena Eze, has accused some hoodlums in the state of beating him up and threatening to kill him over allegation of theft. Vanguard reports that Eze was accused of stealing a staff of authority from another deity in the community, Ngwu Adoro Ero, about a year ago. Things took a dangerous dimension recently when the hoodlums who are suspected to be messengers of Ngwu Adoro Ero deity lured the suspect out of his home at about 9 pm on the pretense that they wanted him to perform an urgent sacrifice to his own Omaba Adoro deity to save a situation. Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, Eze said he asked them to return the next morning since it was late in the night but they persuaded him. He said they beat him up and tied him like he was a common criminal. Quote:“At that point, I reluctantly followed them without any iota of suspicion because we are all members of one community. When we got to the deity which I serve as the Chief Priest, I collected the kola nut, knelt down and started the sacrifice. After pouring the libation, having said a few prayers, I decided to sacrifice the goat which they brought. Confirming the incident, a security personnel in the community, Livinus Ngwu, said the hoodlums were arrested with some arms, including cutlass and machetes and Indian hemp. Ngwu equally told Vanguard that community elders have asked the deity who owns the missing item to punish the thief in his own way, adding that the hoodlums took laws into their hands by threatening to snuff life out of the Chief Priest. |
