First-Class UI Graduate Beaten To Death For Allegedly Stealing Bread
A First- class graduate from the University of Ibadan, Opuofoni Freeborn Ebimotimi, met a horrific death at Honeyhill Tombia, Bayelsa as he was mercilessly beaten to death for allegedly stealing a loaf of bread.
Hailing from the Korokorosei community in Southern Ijaw Local Government area, this remarkable Ebimitomi achieved a first-class degree in Business Administration (B.Sc) from UI.
However, his promising future was cut short in the early hours of Tuesday when a violent mob unleashed fury on him.
Filled with righteous indignation, enraged youths pummeled him relentlessly, ultimately leading to his demise.
Despite the pleas of concerned neighbours and friends who rushed to the scene, offering to compensate for the stolen bread twofold, the angry mob callously disregarded the entreaties and executed their brutal punishment.
Idisemi, the grieving younger sister of the deceased, bemoaned the injustices their family has endured since their father’s demise.
She expressed bewilderment as to what could have driven her brother to resort to stealing bread, explaining that they had become accustomed to a life marked by hardship and deprivation.
Moreover, she lamented the inability of their prosperous uncles, who hold influential positions in government and elsewhere, to extend a helping hand during their desperate times.
