4 UNIPORT students beaten to death for allegedly stealing phones and laptops

On Friday, Four University of Port Harcourt students named Ugonna, Ilyod, Tekana and Chidiaka were this morning beaten to death by indegenes of Aluu community for allegedly stealing phones and laptops in an off campus hostel... Instead of calling the police and getting them arrested, people of this community beat these students who were not even armed until they stopped breathing. Then they took pictures, filmed it and spread it around.  in This happened in Nigeria oo, in PH. We are gradually entering the age of barbaric and jungle justice era. The boys were all in their early 20s. I hope some people get arrested for this. More photos after the cut...*viewer discretion advised*

an eyewitness account on a site called Date360. written by a student reported:

The Students involved are Cultists, They went to attack someone, they were about 5 in number, so on their way out, A girl saw them and screamed, these alerted people and they attacked them.. One of them escaped and the remaining 4 were caught with Weapons and beaten by a man , Hitting them Mercilessly and bringing them to a slow and painful death.. The man later Got Fuel and poured it in their mouth and lit it., Burning one student!, The man was stopped with the arrival of the police so he couldn’t burn the rest, they were later taken to the mortuary where the families of the deceased Came to claim the corpse…

On Twitter, someone using the handle @Penny_sugababe who says she stays in Port Harcourt recounted her view of the incident. Although a search for her original tweets shows that her account has either been deleted or suspended (or probably it was just my internet connection), her tweets were retweeted several times.

She started by saying “Gosh! So because the criminals that were killed in PH today were cute, people are calling it injustice…Smh… Nigerians sha”

Then she continued with more tweets which have been trending on Twitter

and she got blasted :lol
