An individual who is an MC named, Chinedu Paul aka Think 2ice, was reportedly burnt to death by some residents of Ikorodu, Lagos after he was mistaken to be a member of dreaded cult gang, Badoo, in what was described as an act of jungle justice, on Sunday.
According to his friends on Facebook, who are now crying out for justice, Think 2ice was murdered just hours after he attended TV host I.K Osakioduwa‘s talk show – which his last posts on Facebook confirm.
Also, sources, who narrated the story revealed that Chinedu’s car broke down at Odogunyan area of Ikorodu, at around 2 a.m and it was when he went with two others to tow his car from the area that they were accosted by an angry vigilante group.
Apparently, the vigilante group claimed they found engine oil, cutlass and a grinding stone in the car and they descended on them.
The deceased’s heartbroken girlfriend, has taken to social media to share an emotional tribute while also sharing photos of moments they shared while he was still alive.
She wrote:
”I can’t type anything, because my hands are frozen.
Thank you Jesus
Baby I love you. I will still tag you because I always tag you in all my posts, Chinedu Paul.
Baby you post this in the morning
You got back home just to see your life taken.
You said you have a gift for me before you went to fix our car.
Don’t worry I came to collect the gift at Odogunyan.
Don’t explain to me again I understand
I love you baby.”
