A 26-year-old man has been allegedly tortured to death by members of the Irri Community Vigilante Group in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the victim was tortured to death on Friday over the disappearance of N70,000 belonging to his uncle, who is a member of the vigilante outfit.

A source in the community told our correspondent on condition of anonymity that the victim, who hailed from the Emede community, visited his uncle in Irri.

The source stated, “In the course of his stay, he was accused of stealing N70,000 kept in the custody of his uncle, which he later confessed to after severe torture.

“Though the boy was not the only person in the house when the money got missing, but the uncle’s suspicion towards his nephew was because he was the only one who heard the phone conversation the uncle had with a friend over the N70, 000 kept in the house.

“When the uncle discovered that the money had been stolen, he summoned the nephew for interrogation and had him severely beaten up, but didn’t get any positive response from the victim; he consequently invited other members of his group.

“The vigilantes came and brutally tortured the victim; before the intervention of neighbours, he was already unconscious and finally died before they could rushed him to hospital.”

It was learnt that the deceased’s family paid back the N70,000 and demanded that their son must be brought to them alive.

When contacted the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, on Saturday promised to get back to our correspondent with the details of the incident but had not done so as of the time of filing this story on Sunday.

But a source at the Oleh Divisional Police Station said some persons had been arrested in connection with the young man’s death, while other had fled the community.

The police should better do something about this vilgilantes I hate vilgilantes

Hmmm

Vigilantes? Reminds me of how they beat up one man in my area. Actually, they've been targeting the man and use their status as 'Vigilantes' to met out 'justice'.
Honestly, while Vigilantes are crucial in face of the Nigerian police incompetence, they should be regulated.
Are they even licensed?

Nigeria is truly a ZOO JUNGLE

Lawlessness is increasing by the day without any attempt to curb it.

Nice move by the family of the deceased!
Even though it's not proven that the deceased stole the 70k, they went ahead to pay the money and demanded for their son. Bravo!

Let the wicked uncle now resurrect the deceased.

They took the que from their big brother the Nigerian police where torture is an integral way of policing.

It was learnt that the deceased’s family paid back the N70,000 and demanded that their son must be brought to them alive

I ve' seen someone who confessed to what he didn't even do just to avoid being tortured, what if he didn't take the money? U killed a whole human being over 70k?
