Malachy Ugwumadu a legal practitioner has described the recent killings of students who allegedly stole laptops and smart phones in Port Harcourt as a mob action.

Mr. Malachy said the killings were controversial as it is possible that the four undergraduates were probably framed as there are different stories flying around on the murder of the four undergraduates.

“The police failed abysmally on the killings  of the Aluu/Ekwere community in Port Harcourt as the situation would have been different if the police were proactive because the perpetrators had time to perpetrate their acts of killing, and as a university environment, the state government  would before now situate a police post or security outfit in the environment”. He said

The legal practitioner said the police institution in that region were not proactive in curbing the heinous act of the community after the deputy commissioner of police (CID) of river state; Sam Okaula reacted to the killing via telephone interview after which the legal practitioner said in his own opinion “The commissioner is leading from behind” from his reaction as he is not accountable enough on the killings.
