Man Allegedly Banished From his IGBO community in IMO State For Maiming:Membis247Blog

An unidentified man has allegedly been banished from Uzubi, Obodoukwu, in Imo State, after he confessed that he has killed a lot of people in the community.

A source who spoke to the media about the incident said that the man claimed that the spirits of the couple he killed had been tormenting him, and that was the reason he started confessing his atrocities to the villagers.

The angry youths of the community had to banish him from the community, and warned him never to set his foot there again to avoid being lynched. It is said that the incident happened on Friday February 4th.

In the viral video which surfaced on the internet, the man was seen with palm fronds around his neck, as the residents of the community sang and chased him out of their land.

As expected, the video attracted several reactions from members of the public, with many asking why the man was not handed over to the police so that he could be made to face the full wrath of the law, because by banishing him, he would simply move to another place and continue with his life.

Some said that banishing someone is Igbo culture, that killing someone who killed another is also killing in Igboland, so instead of killing the person, they banish such a person from their land. They said that banishing someone is perhaps the worst punishment they can give the person.

Some said that by banishing the person, it means the person is dead to them. That no one from there can ever have any business to do with the person again.

What do you have to say about this? Please feel free to share your thoughts with us.

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.

Lagos State Police Personnel's Spreading Bullet Across The Lekki toll Gate Now:Membis247Blog

Four protesters were detained by members of the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos. The young people had gathered at the Lekki tollgate to commemorate the second national #EndSARS protest memorial. Youths from all around the nation protested in the streets in October 2020 to call for an end to extrajudicial killings by the defunct elite anti-robbery squad and police abuse (SARS). The tollgate was the epicentre of the protests. Youths who gathered day and night at the tollgate were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which led to the loss of lives. Meanwhile, the security operatives also assaulted journalists covering the event. One of the protesters who spoke to SaharaReporters said, “The police have arrested four people despite the fact that everything is being done peacefully here. They are using tear gas and hot water to disperse peaceful protesters. Journalists were also assaulted,” he said.
