There is a report that the Police Sergeant who came with his partner to the
scene of the Aluu 4 and who allegedly egged on the mob to lynch the four
young men has been arrested and dismissed from the police. He is also
to be prosecuted.
According to Mba, Sergeant Lucky Orji was not even detailed
to the
incident of the disturbance, but went there on his own volition and
rather than restore order he promoted criminality by urging the mob on.
Mr. Mba blamed the Aluu incidence on the fall in societal values and
said that the family unit has to take the lead in imparting values to
their wards. "Nigerians must not be quick to heap the blame on the
police alone’’ Mr. Mba said.
It would be recaled that four students of the University of Port
Harcourt were brutally killed at a neighbouring community to the campus
called Aluu. The students were lynched and the lynching was cuaght on
tape and went viral causing a huge public uproar which resulted in
the investigation by the Inspector General of Police. The students that
were killed are – Ugonna Obuzor, 18, 200 Level Geology; Lloyd Toku, 19,
200 Level Civil Engineering; Tekena Elkanah, 20, a Diploma Technical
student and Chiadika Biringa, 20, 200 Level Theatre Arts.
