An eyewitness who simply identified himself as Simon, told our correspondent, that the suspects were vandalising cables from a transformer when they were caught by the vigilantes.

He said, “The incident happened around 3am on Tuesday when we heard the noise of the vigilantes and the suspects, which made some youths in the community to come out in large numbers.”

The source said that youths were pleading with the vigilante group to hand over the suspect to them so that they will set them ablaze, accusing the suspects to be responsible for constant blackout bring experienced in the area.

According to the eyewitness, the vigilantes swiftly called the police who came and took the suspects away.
