Man Bites Off Robber’s Ear In Aba; Says You can’t Rob Aba Boy & Go Free

Nemesis has caught up with a suspected robber, Chijioke Ikechi, as a victim bit off his ear lobe during a robbery attack on a residence at Ukaegbu Road, Ogbor Hill, Aba, Abia State.

Ikechi and three other members of his gang had invaded the residence, dispossessed their victims of N300,000 and inflicted a machete cut on a resident, Ndubuisi Mba.

Vanguard gathered that residents of the area sent a distress call to a police patrol team as one of the victims held on to Ikechi after biting off his ear lobe, while other members of the gang fled on sighting the police.
A resident told Vanguard: “We heard shouts that armed robbers were robbing near our house and called the police, who did not waste in responding.
“When they saw the police, some of the armed robbers ran away. The victim held on to one of them and the police arrested him. We commend the Police team for responding to our call.”
Police Public Relations Officer, Abia State Command, Ezekiel Udeviotu Onyeke, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who confirmed the incident, said the police recovered a machete and an iron pipe fitted with wood, resembling a gun from the gang.
The police spokesman added that Mba, who sustained a machete cut, had been receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital in the area, and appealed to the public to volunteer useful information that could help to nab fleeing members of the gang.

A Zuba Upper Area court on Monday sentenced Uche Duru, 34, of o fixed address, to four months imprisonment for beating up a prostitute.

The presiding Judge, Mallam Aminu Sa’ad, gave judgement after Duru pleaded guilty to the one count charge of causing grievous body injury to the complainant.

The prosecutor said Duru’s offence contravened the provisions of section 247 of the Penal Code law.

The convict told the court that Stephen was his customer and that fight broke out between the two of them after she threw him out of her room naked and humiliated him in front of other customers.

He said, he had paid her the agreed sum earlier and she had also refused to render him the service he had paid for.

Stephen however, did not deny Duru’s statement.
