‘How Gunmen Butcher vigilante operative in Enugu’
Gunmen have reportedly killed a member of the vigilante group, otherwise known as the Central Neighborhood Watch in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, Enugu, Mr Onyebu Idoko, popularly known as Alaye.
TRACKNEWS gathered that the incident which happened in Mkpamute village on Thursday afternoon, had caused panic in the entire Enugu Ezike town.
The masked gunmen, who were in their dozens, were said to be conducting a road show when Alaye ran into them on his way to office.
It was gathered from villagers that the hoodlums operated freely in the area, and chanting that they were in charge of the area.
One of the villagers said that the hoodlums were on foot around Mkpamute Road near council headquarter at about 3 pm before the neighborhood watch member who was riding a motorcycle ran into them.
“I was around when suddenly we saw plenty youths with some of them hanging guns on their shoulders. It was really a terrible situation. We saw them marching along the roads with guns ordering people to clear the road until the neighborhood watch member met them. He didn’t even challenge them or anything.
“Rather, they ordered the man he was carrying on his motorcycle to come down and leave the arena. After that, one of them shot the man severally. He died there,” the source told our correspondent.
Police confirmation is yet to come as the PPRO, Daniel Ndukwe has not responded to calls on his phone.
