The suspects and the girl
The suspects who escaped lynching by a mob after the discovery of the girl said to be about 3-year-old by some residents who had stopped them on suspicion of the content of the bag were paraded by the NSCDC.
The state’s Commandant of NSCDC, Mr. Andy Dateer, said they were arrested by NSCDC men on patrol at Ariaria Junction, Osisioma near Aba and they whisked the suspects away to prevent them from being lynched by the mob.

He said: “The people were attracted to the suspects following a sharp argument between them and another man. The man, however, escaped when he sensed that the residents had become suspicious of them.

“The mob was infuriated by the strange content of the sack and demanded explanations from the men, but their failure to provide satisfactory answer made the mob descend on them.

“They will be handed over to the police for proper investigation. The NSCDC men only rescued the suspects from the angry mob so that the truth of their mission could be unravelled.”
