All isn't well in Nkpologwu community, Uzo Uwani local government area of Enugu State, following the killing of a 15-year-old boy by members of the vigilante in the area.

JOURNALIST101 gathered that the memories of the vigilante stormed the residence of the deceased on Wednesday night to effect an arrest following a disagreement relating to land in their market earlier in the day. The victim resisted arrest and in the process, he was shut on the waist and he died on Thursday.




An eyewitness told our correspondent that the news of the death of the boy angered the youths that went on rampage, burning down houses belonging to the members of the vigilante. 

"We're currently living in fear because we don't know what will happen next and we're helpless," the eyewitness who gave his name simply as Ifeanyi said. 

"Immediately the news that the boy is died came to the village, the youths mobilized immediately and went on rampage. As I speak with you now, the house of the Chief Security Officer, CSO of our local government, Barr. Chijioke Ezugwu has been completely burnt down. 

"The house of another business man, Anthony Ani was torched and this arson is spreading by the day. We call on the relevant authorities to rise up and save our agrarian community before the situation goes out of hand completely."

Another source said that the victim is accused of selling methamphetamine popularly known as Mkpurumiri and when the vigilante went to arrest him, he resisted and made attempt to running away which led to the shooting. 

JOURNALIST101 gathered that the leader of the vigilante and his members have been arrested and are currently in police custody.

All efforts to reach the council Chairman, Celestine Chukwudi Nnadozie for comments failed as he didn't answer his calls nor respond to the message sent to his known mobile number.

They are power drunk vigilante.

Abusing their citizens lives on daily bases.

Unfortunate. But Igbos fight vices head on. Unlike neighbours(sunset side) who send the children to buy rizzla.

If you must sell/smoke that thing, relocate westward

they don't have right to shoot, except the person is physically armed with same and ready to fire. I think they have right to arrest

They claim he was selling mpuru mmiri.

This is not enough to have resulted in death.

Even resisting arrest should not result in his killing, unless he reisted by way of violence, putting others in danger.

Small boy dey sell meth
The one wey I dey see for picture no look like person way dey chop market..
Well it isn't strange Sha....

He get one bunk for kogi state that time near KSP...

Niggars bin full there dey sell kush and shit...

Small boys go con dey beg person for s.k
Boys wey no pass 12 years

The vigilante can shoot anyhow now. Not even the bandit, terrorist, kidnapper or herdmen but harmless teenager.

The number of casualties in SS & SE daily isn't far from the life claimed by BH and their cohort in the whole North just that one is tagged Islamists and the other is tagged freedom fighter.
