The victim, Chikweri Nmegbu who reportedly hailed from Ibaa – Obelle but lived in Elele-Alimini  community in Emohu LGA of the state was killed in the morning by unidentified gunmen.

This is happening  few hours after the disbandment of Onelga Security Planning Advisory Committe,OSPAC, a local vigilante team, by authorities.

OSPAC was disbanded following repeated cases of inhumane treatments including killing by its operatives and calls by people of Emohua Local Government Area to the Police to end their operations.

A community source, who gave his name as Sagbe, alleged that it was OSPAC members that were responsible for the dastardly act to prove their absence from Emohua.

Meanwhile, the deceased’s cousin, Nmegbu Wisdom, has condemned the incident, describing the victim as a peaceful young man.

Wisdom said the people of Ogbelegbe village and the entire Uvuahu clan have called on the relevant authorities to apprehend the culprits and bring them to book.
