A man who was wanted for allegedly defiling a juvenile in
Zimbabwe and escaping twice from police custody reportedly turned into a
baboon when he was arrested by members of the Neighbourhood Watch
Committee.
The man has been on the run for the past two months. It is alleged that
on 2 December he returned to the area pretending to have forgotten his
‘sins’. The fuming villagers reportedly teamed up and proceeded to his
place baying for his blood.
A reliable source said: “When people arrived at his homestead, he
locked up himself in one of the bedroom huts. Villagers wanted to teach
him a lifetime lesson and set him as an example to other would-be
rapists therefore they broke down the door to get him. Ndlovu, realising
that villagers were baying for his blood, confessed his sins, asking
for forgiveness and promised to hand himself over to the police.”
Some fuming villagers did not tolerate or listen to his pleas and
started meting instant justice on him. Fortunately, members of the
Neighbourhood Watch Committee came to his rescue and stopped the mob
from taking the law into their own hands.
“When the villagers were busy beating up Ndlovu, police officers
arrived and stopped them saying they were arresting him. The villagers
tried to convince them that it was high time they disciplined the man
since police had failed, but they took him away,” said the source.
On their way to the Police Station, it is alleged that the man turned
into a baboon sending three Neighbourhood Watch Committee members
scurrying for cover.
“You know the villagers were surprised to see the three policemen
running as if someone was chasing after them. They even failed to stop
and we followed them to their homesteads to ask what had happened on the
way. What we heard was unbelievably, despite talking to them
separately, their story was the same,” said the source.
One of the Neighbourhood Watch Committee members Nkosilathi Dube
confirmed the incident saying: “I have never seen a person turning into a
baboon but he did when we were taking him to the police station as he
was being accused of rape. As we were walking, we realised that it was
only the three of us and a baboon, that’s when we ran away without
saying a word.”
We all know that weird things happen in Africa generally, but a man
turning into a baboon have never been heard of before. Do you believe
this story? Is it possible or impossible for a human being to turn into a
baboon even if he is using jazz?
