It is really sad for such an act to happen to an innocent personnel in such personality, and I will like to say that, this is happening to many innocent souls out there, but because they are not public figures nobody hear about it. I will plead with our security agencies to take a very good action on this one, And also if there will be some kind of message, warning messages to all over that , "if any community is reported to LYNCH anybody regardless to whatever his offense may be, the elders of the community, the assembly man and his committee members will be held responsible" I think this will put some fears into people to stop such behaviour.
too sad about this heinous crime
