Nigerian man who was killed after been falsely accused of attempting to kidnap two school children in Anambra is set to be buried

Paschal Onyilo, the young man who was falsely accused of attempting to kidnap two school children, and was subsequently killed by an irate mob at Umuoji, Anambra state on February 3rd, will be buried this Friday, 12th April, 2019 at his hometown, Umulichi Ogbu, Abatete, Anambra State.

Until his death, Paschal was an event planner who also rented out music equipment. 

Recall that on the day of the unfortunate incident, Onyilo was on his way to Obosi for an assignment, to set up for an event. On getting to Umuoji, some young school children knowingly or accidentally threw stones at his passing vehicle and caused some damage. He then alighted from the vehicle to accost the kids that caused such malicious damage. The children that caused the damage all ran away except for one that wasn’t so lucky. Paschal held him and requested that he be taken to his parents. He had the intention of demanding for the repairs of his damaged vehicle from them. The kids that had escaped earlier ran to some elders in the community and raised a false alarm that a certain man had ‘kidnapped’ one of them. The men quickly mobilised and confronted Paschal. They didn’t give him a chance to explain himself and pounced on him beating him to pulp. He died afterwards

According to his family members, no arrests have been made.
