Infuriated by the act, the youths went back to Irobunda house to know why he was trying to intimidate them with gunshots.

At that point, the man drew his gun again and shot one of the youths, Bright Odizuru in his abdomen, leading to his death in a hospital.

The death of the young man infuriated the Ohokobe Mbaocha youths who pounced on the suspect and attempted to lynch him before he was rescued by security agents.

Not done, the youths also tried to set his house ablaze, but were calmed down by the security agents.

The spokesperson of Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen Chinaka confirmed the killing.

“Police have such reports, crime scene has been visited and investigation is ongoing at SCID”, she said
