car when men of the NSCDC, who were on a routine patrol
around the city, saw them. Continue...
"As people started gathering, the owner of the car zoomed off
and my men arrested the two suspects. If they had not been saved by my
men, the public would have lynched them and the society would not be
able to know the mystery behind their act" he said
Seaking with newsmen, one of the suspects, Chibuike
said he met Jonathan for the first time on that day as he pleaded with
him to help him bury the little child. Jonathan on the
other hand said a man accosted him to help him bury the child.
