The vigilante abducted during a clash between herdsmen in Amakohia-Ubi community in Owerri-West Local Government Area of Imo State, simply known as Uche Ejiofor, has been found dead in a bush with his body badly mutilated.

A source from the community said Ejiofor was found by his colleagues yesterday evening inside a bush while combing for his body.

“Yes he has been found but in a gruesome state. His body was badly stabbed. We think they might have tried shooting him to death but couldn’t succeed, so they resorted to butchering him to death,” the source said.

Body of the mutilated vigilante has since been deposited in the morgue according to an indigene of the area.

Meanwhile, people of the area who fled in fear of the incident are still not confident of returning to their homes.

One of them who spoke to our correspondent said “for me I’m not returning soon but i can go back in the morning but sleeping there is what I can’t guarantee.” (Daily Sun)
