A 27-year-old man at Ndieke Ndiagu village, Amagu community in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Joseph Anyigor, has been beaten to death for riding his motorcycle recklessly inside a market. Anyigor was the chairman, task force unit of Motorcycle Riders’ Union at Ndiagu Amagu.

Members of the union, who alleged that the man rode his motorcycle recklessly at Afia Igwe Market Square, attacked him which led to his death. Confirming the incident yesterday, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP George Okafor, said that on March 4, Chairman of Ndieke Ndiagu Amagu, Earnest Nwoba, in company with Walter Nwanchor Nwangbo and Godwin Anyigor reported at Ikwo Police Station Anyigor’s death about 4:30p.m.

Okafor said there was a fight between the late Anyigor and his task force members over the way he rode his motorcycle at the market square.

The PPRO, however, said that the police were yet to get the full details of how he rode the motorcycle.

He said: “We are yet to discover what actually transpired that led to the death of the young man. Whatever the situation, it could not have led to beating him to the extent that he died. We are yet to know if they used weapons on him or just fists that really killed him.”
