KINGSLEY EBERE 

What is happening to suspected notorious vandal, Emeka Alachu, from Ozara Akukwa village, Umuchu town, Anambra State, is a clear confirmation of the popular saying that every day is for the thief but one day is for the owner. 

 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that for over a period of time in Umuchu town, house owners had been witnessing unprecedented vandalisation of their properties in various homes in a rather mysterious manner without any trace.

 

It is either the power generators were reported to have disappeared or household equipment were carted away including electrical wires used to install light in those houses.

 

According to some of the indigenes, the mysterious disappearance of the household items started happening after Emeka Alachu was deported from overseas and he decided to settle down in the village. And from there, he started vandalizing electrical equipment in various homes in Umuchu town and its environs.

 

It has been going on for some time without any trace as various houses in Umuchu town were vandalized and the local vigilante groups were unable to trace those behind the dastardly act.

 

However,  the man behind the vandalism in Umuchu town was eventually exposed after the key suspect,  Emeka Alachu, went to the factory belonging to one of the illustrious sons of  town,  Chief Goddy Ezeemo in Achalla village and vandalized almost all the electrical wires in the factory.

 

While Alachu was going,  unknown to him Achalla village security men, who suspected his movement from his village in Akukwa at that period monitored and later apprehended him to know his mission.

 

During the interrogation, he made confessional statement that he went to the factory to vandalize the electrical wires at the factory because he believed that the owner of the factory had abandoned it.

This happened just few days after the transformer mounted along the Eke  Umuagu Market, located in Ibughubu village, was vandalized and the cables vandalized.

 

While the community was still battling to sort out the transformer, the vandal went to Ndikpa to a house and carted away the electrical wires that provided light in the house.

The arrest of Alachu may be the end of vandalism going on in Umuchu town following his confessional statement on his criminal activities in the Umuchu town, which had been battling the incidence of kidnapping due to the highway linking it to other towns in the State.

 

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the suspect has been handed over to the Police for possible prosecution over his alleged criminal conduct since he was deported from overseas.
