Police hunting down man who nailed suspected radio thief to a tree
A
bizarre incident was on Friday witnessed in Chemasili village, Vihiga County,
after a man was nailed to a tree for allegedly stealing a radio.
Collins
Sambaya, 19, is said to have been nailed to the tree by one Elvis Irime who
used two roofing nails to secure both of the victim’s palms in place.
Area
residents raised alarm to North Izava location Chief Evans Endesha who then
notified local law enforcement officers stationed at Kilingili Police Post.
The
culprit, reports say, fled from the scene when he saw the police officers
arriving.
In
a video seen by Citizen Digital, residents under the supervision of the police
attempted to free Sambaya from the tree using a power saw.
Their
efforts proved successful as Sambaya was later rescued and rushed to Mbale
Referral Hospital for treatment. He is currently in stable condition.
Meanwhile,
detectives have launched a manhunt for Irime, to bring him to book for his
inhumane action.
