Update From . COM

A vigilante member was beaten to death after he accidentally shot dead the outgoing President-General of Ukpiovwin community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, Mr Fredrick Ighoshemusua.

The tragic incident happened during the swearing-in ceremony of new executive committee of the community on Thursday, July 29.

According to report, Ighoshemusua, 50, met his untimely death shortly after formally handing over the baton of leadership to his successor at the event held at the community’s secondary school.

While the deceased was taking a group photograph with the new executives, the vigilante member started shooting in the air in celebration. The pump-action gun was said to have stopped working at some point so he tried to fix it.

It was in the process of fixing the gun that it exploded in the direction of the outgoing President General’s chest, killing him on the spot.

Angered by the sudden killing, the gathering reportedly descended on the gun-wielding vigilante member and clubbed him to death.

"Ighoshemusua tenure as President General of the community has expired and he has successfully handed over to his successor. While the celebration was on, the outgone PG left for his house. After some time, it was discovered that the man was no longer there and they sent for him to take part in a group photograph,” a community source narrated to journalists.

Confirming the incident, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ari Muhammed Ali, told journalists that the vigilante member shot the community leader in error after making futile attempts to shoot into the air to add colour to the ceremony.

"It was in the process of taking the group photograph that the vigilante member started shooting in the air in celebration. At a point, as he was shooting, his pump-action gun did not respond," the CP stated.

"He brought the gun down and was trying to fix it when it exploded in the direction of the outgone President General’s chest and he died on the spot. When the vigilante man saw what happened, he quickly took a motorcycle and was headed to the police station to report the matter, but some angry youths gave him a hot chase and stopped him at the railway line. They brought him back to the community and beat him to death." he added.

Even abokinas can't be this stupid.

Spiritual things manifesting in the physical.

May we not end up being vessels to manifest spiritual experiments in the physical.

May GOD help the black race

.

In short, 2 people end up being killed in what was meant to be a celebration.

I hope the police arrest the members of the mob that killed the vigilante.

We need to put a stop to mob actions.

Gun safety violated two times...

1.Firing gun into air....a big no no (what goes up, can come down)

2.Not treating a gun like it was always loaded...plus pointing it at someone.

Some incidents won't have happened if people observed gun safety.

Maybe we should force gun owners in this our country to take gun safety classes. well well.

Modifed...Gun rules safety below. The vigilante violated rules 1 and 2.

Celebration gone wrong, I hope he wasn't high on substances then. RIP to the dead though

Where is the sense in this your post?
It was stated clearly that it was a mistake on the vigilante's part.

Mob action is very wrong

sorry oooò

And they had to strip the corpse abi? What's wrong with people sef? Most of these people parading themselves as security men are inexperienced when it comes to firearms. But in Nigeria, everybody wants to form big man.
You'll go to small naming, you'll see security. To do what exactly? SMH..

My dear country

This life is complex.
It s a mistake,according to the report BT the running away has suggest that,
1)He ran for his his life or

2)He did it on purpose and trying to run or

3)He had been contacted to do the job and after successful execution,he tries to run.

And lastly u cannot underestimate spiritual interference.

If any day passed by and there is no report of death on Nairaland, I will give #10k to 10 people that day.


Nigeria is a death trap....

I won't mind this coffee this morning

In a lawless society, it'd be an act of foolhardy for someone to be law-abiding..

Honestly,this thing is very rampant here in Delta state, especially here in urhobo communities.... Anytime a leader is about to handle over power, shedding of blood must definitely be recorded...

From warri communities down to sapele,to ughelli, nowhere wey comot......If e no be revenue wahala,e go be chairmanship wahala...

Na this kind mumu characters make many companies depart from warri and ughelli

It serves the idiot vigilante right, you think it was an error. Him alone knows the person(s) that contracted him for the suicidal job.

The bastard was probably drunk. But why kill him in such a manner? What if it was an assassination, are they not interested in who ordered it?

Animals

This is what they called (Oku meji ma ba olohun nile) two dead body go meet God in the house

, someone has asked you earlier if you get a hard on with unwholesome news?

Sometimes unconsciously, one might be psychologically affected by what he derives joy in doing, negatively or positively.

Take a break from blogging for a while.

Black coffee no sugar.

Do people still shoot gun at public gatherings?

In my community, they have banned shooting of any type of gun in any gathering. Go to your compound and shoot as many bullets as you like in celebration.

Nigerians do not learn from past mistakes at all.

First, If you are loading a gun, keep in mind the number of bullets you loaded.

Secondly, If your gun misfires, do not bring it down pointing the nozzle directly at someone.

For me, it's kill and be killed.
