Owojela's
Blog gathered that the perpetrator is from Afere, a community in Yakurr local
government area of Cross River State.
According to
a Facebook, Mr. Akong Bassey user who posted the sad news while lamenting said
the incident happened in Ikori in Yakurr local government area where he was
burnt in broad daylight.
Bassey
wrote, “Only educated fools will support this act, why do we school my people?
Why have we allow the old mentality to influenced our thinking? So we just
school without making use of the knowledge?
“Have you
not read? Not even from the Bible, for the benefit of those that don’t believe
in the Bible, it is wickedness in the highest to burn a human, of no account
should this young man be burned.
“He didn’t
kill anyone in the first place, whatever he has done, he should be deal with
but not by killing and burning a son of the soil, and many are supporting this
act.
“A guy gun
down 3 of our youths and he is still moving freely, 2 guys kill a woman in the
bush yet never burnt alive. But a poor boy who was said to be a suspect was
kill and burnt in Ekori land.
“If the
kings men fail to do justice over the killing of this poor boy, Ekori will not
be in peace. RIP guy. This is wickedness in the highest,” he lamented.
