Biafratimes:the Truth Behind The Killing Of Oghara Vigilante Chairman . by Nobody: 12:13am On Jul 09, 2015
Featured Nigeria
When the news broke on June 23rd on how
the Chairman of Oghara Vigilante, Mr Benson
Ogedegbe was killed by the men of the 19th
battalion on the express order of the
commanding officer, Lt. Colonel Umar Aminu,
this reporter sent out some of his reporters to
get the behind the scene details, but was
surprised to see a report on various news
medium, both print and online, with his
byline, and the report exonerating the Colonel
from the inhuman act. It was a surprise on
how a report still being worked on was sent
out bearing the authentic byline but with
different emails not associated with me. This
prompted personal travel to Oghara and Koko
for first hand investigation of the story. How
the leaked report came about will be
discussed in another report.
Detailed insider report given can
authoritatively state that Benson has never
been a criminal nor associated with such evil
men of the night as claimed by the Nigerian
Army from the 19th battalion which prompted
his killing.
According to sources close to the military in
Koko, a certain Onos led and still leads a
criminal gang that terrorized the Koko
waterways and Oghara community. Onos is
said to be very close to the 19th battalion,
who see him as partner in business. What
was, however, unknown to some persons is
that Onos serves as the middleman and
informant to the Umar-led soldiers and some
deadly millionaire oil bunkerers.
Revealing to this reporter, the 19th battalion
provides cover for this oil bunkers to carry
out their illegal trade which often involves
killing of innocent villagers who try to stop
their activities. Onos according to an insider
arranges the meeting between the bunkerers
after every deal, while also serving as
informant to the Army on the movement of
the Oghara vigilante, which Ogedegbe heads.
"19th battalion provides cover for this oil
bunkers to carry out their illegal trade
which often involves killing of
innocent villagers trying to stop their
activities"
Investigation revealed that the Army
Command had made overtures to him to stop
his security monitoring of oil bunkering and
join them in providing covers through the
local means, which he turned down. Onos, the
notorious criminal on his part had in the past
threatened to deal with Ogedegbe, using the
army. This threat it was gathered got the
attention of the Oghara Divisional Police
State, who arrested Onos and detained him
for weeks. He was later released to the
Chairman of Ethiope West LGA, Solomon
Golley, on health ground, who promised to
provide him when he’s needed.
No sooner was he released when he escaped
from town to stay with the army, stated a
source. This was the stroke the army needed
to get Ogedegbe down by any means, hence
he was picked up by them and taken to their
Benin base for no reason, where he was
tortured almost to death, before a human
rights activist, David Ugolor raised alarm.
Umar out of fear quickly transferred him to
the Police Headquarter in Asaba, but arranged
with a criminal in the cell to implicate
Ogedegbe as one of their gang member, with
promise to set him free and monetary reward.
Ironically, on the day of interrogation, the
hired criminal broke down and confessed that
he had never met Ogedegbe before. This
confession set the vigilante leader free, with
his son who was also arrested by the soldiers.
"Onos arranges the meeting between the
bunkerers after every deal, while also
serving as informant to the Army on the
movement of Oghara vigilante"
HOW HE WAS FINALLY KILLED
On the fateful day, investigation revealed that
Ogedegbe had just left the Oghara Police
Station to his house, to pick his materials to
go to the school, where he functions as a
games master. Unknown to him, the 19th
battalion troop were lurking around to nab
him.
He left the home into his car, when an Army
Hilux vehicle was noticed following him by
some passerby and his wife who followed
them. From behind, the soldiers occupying
the Hilux began to fire shots at the car, which
prompted Ogedegbe to stop,
An eye witness revealed that they walked up
to him, dragged him out of the car, where one
of them made call to inform the man at the
other end of the phone for possible
instruction. The man at the other end of the
phone according to witnesses is said to be Lt.
Colonel Umar Aminu, who gave a direct order
that he should be shot and made to look like
what criminals do.
It was then live bullets were pumped into him
four times in his abdomen, and they certified
him personally dead, before dumping his body
at the Delta State University Teaching
Hospital, Oghara.
*** Watch out for the dirty media cover up by
the Lt. Colonel and 19th battalion.

Umar, Ono's & Ogedegbe mentioned.
But the main criminals not named-the bunkerers.
Afraid of them or you don't know them?
