Double misfortune has befallen Okorie Orie, a native of Ibenda Effium in Ohaokwu Local Gov-ernment Area of Ebonyi State, whose son was killed by an unrepentant gang of robbers that had robbed him 10 years earlier.
A decade ago, 37-year-old Uchenna Okereke, led six other robbers to rob Okorie Orie, dispossessing him of millions of naira and successfully escaped. But the victim was able to recall the face of Okereke and he correctly identified him to the police, who acted on the information and arrested him. During interrogation, he revealed the identity of the other six members of his gang. They were all tried, convicted and slammed with 10-year jail term, which they served and were subsequently released.
