IMO State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday in Owerri, the state capital rescued a middle aged woman from being lynched when, under the cover of sit-at-home order issued by the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MOSSOB), attempted to steal in her neighborhood.
The unidentified woman rescued by the governor at the Christ Church Road, Owerri took advantage of the MOSSOB directive to shop-lift but unknown to her the shop owner was inside with some of her goods outside.
The shop owner however, did not know what was happening until a neighbor drew her attention by asking her whether the person carrying cartons of drinks from her shop had paid for them.
According to an eye witness, it was then that the shop owner, who had been sitting inside the shop out of fear for MOSSOB, then came out and raised the alarm, which drew the attention of the neighbors and passersby, who rushed to lynch the woman before Okorocha’s entourage arrived.
It was gathered that after narrating the story, the governor appealed to the shop owner and the mob to forgive the thief and instantly paid the woman whose shop was lifted the sum of N100,000 and offered to start a business for the thief.
