TWENTY-year-old Chioma Dioke apparently didn’t bargain for the bestial rage which she suffered at the hands of youths in Onunwafor Ezzagu in Ishielu Local Government area of Ebonyi State. Chioma and two other employees of a local entrepreneur had gone to the community for a business expedition that involved investments which paid off relatively good dividends. Then all hell was let loose: instead of making an official report at a police station, the enraged youths took the law into their own hands. For a start, the ‘forest’ in Ebonyi where Chioma and her fellow victims were dehumanised must be rid of all criminality. On its part, the government of Ebonyi State government must approach this case with all the seriousness it deserves.
