Suspected vigilante operatives allegedly have tortured Mr. Kenneth, a 60-year-old man to death at ndị Nza Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of the State
Angel Network News (ANN) gathered that the victim was subjected to a painful death after he sold a water tank in his family house and used the money to solve family issues, which made his younger brother to invite the vigilante group to arrest and torture him.
Mr. Kenneth, however, could no make it alive, as his arrestors tortured him to death in the process.
This is corroborated by a video currently trending on the social, which shows the victim as he was tied hands to back, while two men were flogging him on his bare body, both with cutlass and stick, in a setting that looks like a security office.
One of the tormentors was also seen in the video tilting Mr. Kenneth’s manhood with cutlass in the process of the torture, while he continued to groan under pains and roll on the ground like a baby.
A woman, suspected to be the wife of the victim, was also heard crying in the background of the video as the victim was being tortured.
The viral video was also shared by a Nigerian activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who took to his social media handles to call on Governor Chukwuma Soludo to intervene in the matter to get justice for Mr. Kenneth and also bring the perpetrators of such barbaric crime to book.
The Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, SP Ikenga Tochukwu said he had seen the video trending on the social media. He, however, said that the Command has swung into action and is making efforts to connect with the family members of the victim to have adequate information on what happened.
The PPRO also revealed that the Command has informed the Ozubulu community leadership to tell the victim’s family members to come forward with information that will help the police to carry out adequate investigation into the matter.
