TEARS!!! Young Man Shot Dead In Ebonyi State Few Days To His Wedding By Local Vigilante (Photos)

By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

A suspected local vigilante, identified as Hosana Aju, has shot a young man, Mr Chukwudi Collins Chukwu dead in Ebonyi State, few days to his wedding.


IGBERE TV gathered that Mr. Chukwu was shot at the right side of his shoulder from a close range when he attended a Wake at Obiozara, Okposi in Ohaozara LGA, Ebonyi State on Friday the 16th April 2021 alongside his friend, Mr Innocent Ezeogo who originally hails from Okposi.

Speaking to IGBERE TV correspondent, a brother to the deceased, Mr Henry Emeka Chukwu said the suspect, Mr. Hosana Aju, did not make any attempt to help in resuscitating the deceased but instead seized the opportunity to abscond.

According to him, "the suspect was aided to go into hiding by a local Chief and probably some of his Local Vigilante members in their community including hiding the gun used by the suspect."

He further said that his brother who was killed recently got married on 06 March 2021 in a Traditional Marriage ceremony and was due to be wedded on 01 May 2021, just in over a week’s time.


He demanded for thorough investigation by the Police Force in order to bring everyone who contributed or even aided the hiding of the suspect and his gun to book and penalised in accordance with the Law.

He said "My late brother, Mr Chukwudi Collins Chukwu attended a Wake at Obiozara, Okposi in Ohaozara LGA, Ebonyi State on Friday the 16th April 2021 alongside his friend, Mr Innocent Ezeogo who originally hails from Okposi."

"The deceased left Enugu with his friend (mentioned above) just after 8pm after informing his wife about the trip to Ebonyi State."

"On getting to Obiozara, Okposi, the deceased called his wife to confirm that he and his friend had arrived safely at the Wake venue in Obiozara."

"The deceased and his friend were immediately offered the seats reserved for them by the host, Mr Nnamdi Donatus Eze who lost the Father in-law."

"Within a minute, the prime suspect, Mr Hosana Aju arrived at the scene with a locally made gun and offered to shoot his gun in the air for the deceased and his friend of which they declined the offer."

"The suspect then made a few attempts to shoot his gun in the air but the gun could not fire and at that point, the deceased and his friend decided to move away from the suspect for their own safety."

"Whilst moving away from the suspect, my brother was shot at the right shoulder by Mr Hosana Aju from a close range and the deceased fell to the ground."

"The suspect did not make any attempt to help in resuscitating the deceased but instead seized the opportunity to abscond. The suspect was aided to go into hiding by a local Chief and probably some of his Local Vigilante members in their community including hiding the gun used by the suspect."

"The deceased was shortly declared dead by a Medical Doctor in a local hospital."

"My name is Henry Emeka Chukwu, a Military Personnel and the deceased is my brother."

"The deceased recently got married on 06 March 2021 in a Traditional Marriage ceremony and was due to be wedded on 01 May 2021, just in over a week’s time.
We just can’t let this horrible tragedy slide."

"I am handling this process on behalf of my entire family seeking for the utmost justice for our beloved brother, Mr Chukwudi Collins Chukwu before we can lay him to rest."

"My family Attorney has been advised to pursue for the Maximum Penalty which I believe should be a Death Sentence in this case."

"I want a thorough investigation by the Police Force in order to bring everyone who contributed or even aided the hiding of the suspect and his gun brought to book and penalised in accordance with the Law."

There is more to this story. I suspect his killer just hid under the cover of being a local vigilante to commit this crime. Sometimes it may be a bitter tussle caused by one party feeling his babe has been snatched. I hope justice is served.

Something is not right... A local Vigilante man is supposed to be at his duty post not a Wake keep.


This is planned... They lured the young man from Enugu to Ebonyi just to meet his untimely death.

Nawa oo...
Rip

This is sad

Rip

Problem self ehn..abi he was testing his gun?

Local vigilant?

Very unfortunate!

I can't seem to understand how being shot in the arm would make a grown muscled man pass on in minutes....or was he shot with a poisonous bullet.

Ahhh. Very painful. Rip man.

Sad news.

SE is too savage and uncivilized. Too many atrocities and killings in that region

Wahala no dey finish

A lot of killings going on in the Southeast, and it will get worse, as the police and security personnel who normally put miserable effort in crime prevention and security are also under attack. It's gonna be a Wild Wild East, all man to himself.

BOB MARLEY said "how long shall they kill our prophet while we stand aside and look" litle did he know that eventually the enemies will stand aside and look while we slaughter and kill our brothers, too bad for the black race. R I P to the young man

Just what has dis young man done to deserve this? Feel sooooo sad

Too bad.

The appropriate authorities should take up this case.

Wow... Too sad o

the country we live in

Dumbfvcks

What a useless country....he bled to death...how can someone die from a gunshot wound on the shoulder?? Was there no one around to rush him to the hospital...no one to administer first aid...put pressure on the wound to reduce blood pumping out

Anarchy in South East....created by Mazi supported by Ohaneze

It's a planned assassination... period.

A shot to the right shoulder could result to his death like that?

sad

I suspect a faulty local gun misfired and possibly the local vigilante is drunk also or over excited.

Subhanallah...I wish both families esp the bride to be,the fortitude to endure..
