BREAKING NEWS – LIMPOPO WOMAN ARRESTED FOR RUNNING PRIVATE PRISON FROM HER HOME

NKOANKOWA, LIMPOPO – In a shocking case of vigilantism, a 54-year-old local tavern owner has been arrested for allegedly operating her own private prison from her home yard.

The woman who has a pending court appearance, is accused of establishing an unauthorized detention facility. According to police reports, over the past weekend alone, she detained 36 individuals for drinking and driving, 8 people for alleged attempted car hijacking, and 19 others for robbery.

Her most startling claim, however, relates to a separate group of 98 men she states she had previously arrested for assaulting women at or near her tavern. She allegedly told these detainees they would face a collective 56 life sentences in her prison, under brutal conditions where they would "eat only once a day" and only when she decided to provide food.

The situation came to light after authorities received multiple complaints about unlawful detention. The woman allegedly justified her actions by claiming she was detaining drunk, violent, or non-paying patrons until they sobered up or settled their debts.

An investigation is ongoing, with charges expected to include kidnapping, unlawful detention, and contravention of the Correctional Services Act.
